Catpaw's shameless promotion of pencil sketches

Greetings - I've begun drawing again. The last time I picked up pencil and paper was ... er... eep... 25+years ago. I post them amongst the rubble of my rants and silly stuff. Right now I'm focusing on birds and detailing the agonies of getting the pictures correct.

Lovely sketches

Can I ask why birds? As a cat don't you want to eat them?

  Actually, I'm not sure why birds. I started in June drawing lopsided landscapes (which I am going to post this week). I suppose birds because I could never do them. No idea why they seem to be coming so easily now.
  Then again... perhaps I'm simply sharpening my bird identification skills for hunting purposes...

  When I was little, the grandad and the dad forced me to copy birds from all their millions of bird guides. They are avid bird watchers and I am sure they thought it was fun for me
  
  So now I love birds and sort of hate cats
