~I tried out realism again, and I didn't do as well as I hoped because you can still see a faint trace of my cartoon-y western style there, although I think I can let myself pass as it's a first attempt of realism with inanimate objects. I was sitting outside and I decided I wanted to start drawing in my sketch program, so I started scribbling. Trashing attempt after attempt of random cartoon cats, I looked at a birdhouse in my backyard -well, technically in a pot on my screen porch. it's too small for real birds, and I sort of went on and imagined what it would look like if it had been big enough and out in a different environment. I thought of a moor, and this was the product of such thinking.- and tried drawing it because I heard you have to do a lot of "Still-life" in art schools and decided a bit of practice could do no harm. Wow! Good job reading all of that! Or, if you didn't read all of it and just skipped down to this part, that's fine too. You might be wondering what that weird floating thing next to the birdhouse is. If you're not wondering, then you probably are now. Or you're just confused as to why I'm making such wild assumptions. Well, it's SUPPOSED to be a bird. but I didn't have any birds in my screen porch -it'd be odd if it did, as the purpose of a screen porch is to keep things (bugs) away from you while you sit outside.- and I didn't look up a reference since I didn't think of it at the time and I rarely draw birds, so it looks more like a moth or a butterfly if anything. oops
