Trying to Work Larger
I draw the size I see something, pretty much. So if it’s far away it’s small, if it’s close it’s large.
I am trying very hard to learn how to draw much larger than what I see. (If I master this I might try the other way around, but I have a lot of practice at drawing smaller birds and almost none doing giant ones.)
In this sketch, the bluebird is roughly the size I could see it; the yellowrump was bigger. Not significantly bigger, but we’re working on that….
