Flying Sparrow

Whenever I hate my drawings, I remind myself that at least I can draw birds. Though, not all my birds are perfect. Owls especially are pretty awful. (Or is that owful?) Flying birds are easier than sitting birds, because like many people, I’ve often been fascinated by wings, and wings are almost always shown outstretched.

I don’t have a lot of different colors of ink, and I didn’t particularly want to mix them, so I just used brown and orange. It’s close enough that you can tell it’s supposed to be a sparrow.  The figures in the background are just barely visible, more of a distraction than point of interest, but it’s okay. I can at least draw a bird.
