Popular Post philjay Posted June 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2019 Yep I do take my camera to the reserves lately but I also take my sketch book as I have been trying to get back in to drawing subjects from life. So here is a photo of a few efforts. Today I had the hide to myself for a few hours and was able to tackle a few more detailed drawings. The ones in flight are mostly from a book that was hanging about in the hide because sketching birds standing or sitting is hard but sketching them flying is nigh on impossible for me. It was fun with one eye looking through the scope and the other on the sketch pad. +RonC, +Streetbob, tuckstar and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Great idea Phil, I'm impressed. It's the same idea as sketching dso's or lunar, you pick up more detasils in the birds feathers and posture. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Its far more difficult than lunar and DSO drawing, birds move, fly away, dive etc just when youve sketched out the basic shape, so do you start again or carry on. The greylag was like that, it wouldnt stay still. Doc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Derbyshire Dave Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Really good Phil, beautifully done. I haven’t an artistic bone in my body, that’s a wonderful skill to have.. Were these taken at Drakelow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Ta folks. Yes Dave. I managed to get a couple of hours to myself in the main hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
