I wonder if we will ever get out of the freezing temperatures, but it sure does look pretty outside although we are having a bit of a heat wave with the temperature making it up to 20F (-6.7C) today. One of my neighbours offered me the loan of his stuffed grouse over the Christmas season so I could make drawings of one of the many game birds that inhabit the area.
First I took a lot of photographs of the bird from almost every angle and light source.
Next I did a number of quick sketches of the grouse in different positions and with the ones I preferred I started to tighten up the sketches and turn them into outline drawings.I will post the outline drawing at a later date once I have decided on the one I like best.
