Blue Jay

Work-In-Progress (WIP)

After beginning the sketch, I wanted to go ahead and place the background (this is the first time I have ever made this decision

I wanted the animal to be revealed in light, so I added black.

As you can see, I begin with white

And I draw a large portion of the body with white

now, I am going in with the black

at first, it may look unsettling

but eventually, it begins to come together

next thing you know…

you have a bird on your paper

but I still need to add details

so, I just keep going

drawing the tail feathers now
