Sketchbook Day 05

Today, I was really inspired to draw birds, specifically a Kestrel, as they are one of my favorites.

After a disappointing first attempt (left picture), I decided to try something more fun and made a folk art inspired version!

I love how this one turned out, and am planning to do more birds in this style.
