Of course Christmas preparation is pushing it's way higher on my 'to do' list, so I may be a little while.īest regards and have a good Christmas all. Will come back and post the results for those who've expressed an interest. I'm going to go off and develop the next stage of this picture, pondering in turn all the useful practical comments given here. A lovely description of 'Treeps' text books don't give - enabled me to visualise a group (something I've not witnessed). I note you use the word 'dumpy' to describe them, when they sit together on a morning and I realise that's what I need to aim for - your guidance is much appreciated. Had the feeling I was out on the proportions - good to have my artist's eye confirmed. Could have been a mistake that would'ave annoyed me once I did see it. Your comments are very valuable - I didn't see the suggestion of preening, but do now. Just dropping-in to acknowledge the help kindly given by you, Steve. Mine sit on wires over and in front of their Leylandii high rise every day. They can also use dense Hawthorn and Blackthorn. Start your bird sketch by noting the posture of the bird or the angle at which it sits with a single line. Instead of focusing on details at the start of a picture, make light sketch lines to capture the posture, proportions, and angles of your subject. Mine nest and roost in the dreaded Leylandii, which are absolutely fantastic for Tree and House Sparrows, roosting Starlings etc. The most important part of the drawing is getting the basic shape right at the start. Tails on these two also a tad too long and too braod at bottom - should be pretty parallel sided.Īs for background, they love nesting and roosting in any really dense hedge or similar. Bill is also better (too fine on the first sketch), but the bird on the right still looks a little too plump - head / body proportions a little array.

So your second sketch is better in this respect. Your first sketch suggests mutual preeing or similar, and they tend to simply sit there, all dumpy, chirping away noisily. They sure do huddle together at times, particularly first thing in the morning, not just colder mornings. I have Tree Sparrows (Treeps) as residents in my garden and so are not only very familiar (looking at them now as I type) they are also a firm favourite! This little bird has just flown off from my drawing room towards the Biennale of Illustration, Bratislava, to be part of the Migrations Exhibition.
