Flight
Super excited to try out the new technique of working a bird’s flight planes and then filling in the wings depending on what you See rather than Think. This is much harder than it sounds.
These crows and turkey vulture didn’t give me much time but you look, close your eyes, consolidate the image, and then get it down on paper. Lots more practice needed, but I can already see this is going to make birds in flight a lot easier to render on a two-dimensional surface…
