Drawing a Goose.

I've been working on my drawing practice again.  Since Myra asked for some information on what I'm learning I decided to post some pictures as I worked through the last drawing.



The picture above shows how I tried to decide on the basic shapes I could see, as well as where those shapes lined up with other parts of the object.


Next I changed those shapes to further represent the goose.

 

And finally I shaded in the values with my retractable pencil with  #2 lead and blended with my tortillon. Truth be told, I went back and forth many times with the kneadable eraser and the pencil trying to get it right. 

This is so much fun....  I think.
