Shrike



I usually list everything I have to remember for work and social events, but never things like "update your blog for once". Yesterday I actually wrote it down and apparently it works. Unfortunately now I remember a few other things that I was supposed to do this evening instead of drawing, but I guess that's how it's always going to be. You are never going to draw enough if you put everything else above it.

This bird started as a small colour and value practice, since I have felt for a time now that my drawing are quite flat, but I ended up discarding the colours as I wasn't happy with them. Thus I ended up continuing with a quick b&w study instead.

I'm now practicing 3D modeling with Blender daily at my internship and I'll see if I'll have anything proper to show anytime soon.

(The refecence picture for the bird can be found here.)

Oh, and I almost forgot! We went to Miami for two weeks last month and I was supposed to upload some photos from there! The trip itself was just amazing and hopefully now that I actually wrote this down here I'll remember to pick some pictures from the around 1200 photos that I took. :'D (I think quantity went over quality here. :') )
