It Starts With Doodling
Like so many great ideas I have... the pencil works idly on any little scrap of paper I can find. I use the edges of cards at work which only allow me spaces of about 2inches x 1/2inch to work on. Birds continue as well as a series of scaredy cats (to be seen later... or not.) Here's my sketch which I scanned much larger into my computer and added texture there. Finally, I uploaded the final full-color painting today on my Flickr account. Goldie is also available in my shop.

Love it!
I'm glad I clicked the "original sketch" link. These look wonderful in their precolor stage as well.
Marie .... thank you!
Jim ..... I think so, too. I save all my little sketches. :)
That's the way it starts, with a doodle. Great value in doodling. I love your sexy little owl. he he.
Goldie looks great, sMacThoughts!
But do my eyes deceive me or are there more bird feet poking up from the bottom of this piece?
Perhaps another birdie fell down off-camera?

Chris, Goldie would be quite pleased to hear he is considered sexy. :)
Dean, Your eyes do not deceive. Goldie has happened upon a crime scene. The colorful details can be found at my Flickr link in the caption. Not for the faint of heart.
Very cool "birds", love both the sketches and the finished ones. Cute, but with edge.:-)
Thanks, iHannah!
I LOVE this drawing. And it's really interesting to see your process, too. I'm inspired to start doodling more!
Oh Cathy, yes, do it! I mean *doodle* it! ;)
These are so wonderful!!!

Thanks, Tara, and you're welcome!

Honored!
I don't know if they're supposed to be owls...but to me they are and they are just fabulous!! Love love love them! :)
I leave their 'breed' open to interpretation. they are delightful winged creatures as I see them, and so happy you like them!!
