DARK EYED JUNCO SKETCH: PEN AND INK


We get a lot of dark eyed juncos this time of year in Tennessee.  They are a bright, active little bird with a lot of personality!  I have enjoyed many hours of watching this bird as it hunts for seeds on the ground, and actually tunnels under the fallen leaves looking for it's meal.  This sketch is done with a fine point Pilot pen, and it tended to skip on the slick surface of the textbook paper.  I am definitely ready to switch back to my heavier tooth sketch pad for the next drawing!
