I’ve been telling everyone about your videos. Your video on contours for trees alone was a pivot point in my understanding of any kind of
drawing whether it be trees or human arms. I have my Australian bird book out now practicing. Many many thanks for sharing your skills.

And Bam! That’s the way it’s done. Brilliant. There’s a myriad of subtlety that is so important.

I struggle with beaks. I try to draw my parrots and it’s so bad. Good thing my photography is much better than my drawing skills but I’m determined to learn

Thank you for this practical and insightful video. You referenced "Birdpixel.com" in your tutorial. I went to the sight but could not discover if all the amazing photos are copyright photos. Do you know if they are and if so, how would I note that on my artwork?
