Crow Hopping Mad!

Well, my long standing obsession with crows/ravens has just grown immensely the last few days! As I read an AMAZING story all about them by a local writer.. and I can't get it out of my head! As I read it I saw it instantly... exactly how it should (and will!!) look!
It was amazing!!! Seriously... I HAVE TO ILLUSTRATE IT!

I did a few sketches in about an hour or so that I had spare before bed.... just getting the hang of drawing more realistic crows than the cartoony ones I normally do.
I can really feel my drawing improving as I'm just doing it more and more.. and reading as much about drawing as I can, and thinking about it, and talking about it... I feel so much better now Im back into the swing!

Also... a very wise boy told me on Monday.. walking to the bonfire display through the dark barry skate park.. to concentrate on 'Your Own Thing' and 'Not to worry about what everyone else is doing.. How do you think all those people are doing their stuff??' And the minute he said it I realised it rang true! Concentrating on your own stuff is exactly how you get it done!
And not trying to do too much at once... just list them and work through them. Lately I've been trying to do bits and pieces of far too many things... instead of just setting aside time to do one, and then move onto the next. As a result nothing was getting finished... so now I have lists!! haha :)
