The House Sparrow. The right page was drawn from a study skin. The left page was drawn from observation (the one where he is sitting of course) and from photograph (the one where he is flying). The left page is obviously pen, the right is older and is in pencil. Also, my handwriting is atrocious, so sorry about that.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! I have a few more of these skin studies I might post later.

If you think your handwriting is bad you should see mine. I blame the government. These sketches are delightful. It is said that the House Sparrow is in decline here in Scotland. That, of course, is nonsense. They have all migrated to the hedge at the bottom of my garden.

Hehehe. Thanks. I too blame the government.
I love sparrows. They may be a “trash” bird from a birders perspective due to their abundance, but they are sure fun to watch and draw.
