Description
Sparrows. One day I looked out the window seeing lots of them and I realized I've never drawn sparrows before. Which, I thought, was unforgivable, since they are about the commonest of birds around here. So, here they are - sparrows! Lots of them!Btw, trying out new stuff about background, but still having troubles with it here and there.... I COULD use suggestions on how to draw nice pencil backgrounds.
HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B on A4.
References: by for the sitting sparrow and
by for the flying sparrow.
Thank you guys for the refs!!!
Used some of my own photos for the rest of the sparrows on the tree.

Wow amazing! The flying sparrow is a female and the sitting one a male if you didn't know it.

Actually I think the flying one is also male, only a juvenile. I might be wrong though, they are a bit tough for me.
Anyway, thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like it

Beautifully fresh piece of work... I love the quality of the light and the texture of the feathers, it's almost like you can touch them through the paper! Gorgeous job
