A drawing or a painting is like a mouthwatering meat in a marinade - marinated vegetables for vegetarians - and a bottle of good old wine. It needs time to mature, and its creator needs to be patient, really patient. The more time I spend on a work of mine, the more chance there is that I will be satisfied with it. That is why the blog update was put off for so long, do forgive me.
What you see above is taken from my sketchbook. The draft is quite different from the final work; inspiration came after the sketches had been done. I realized that I wanted to elaborate on the feathers, and avoid letting the bird fly into nothingness.
