After three weeks of drawing birds I'm getting very excited about starting some new plates for etching. I feel a bit daunted because I think I'm going to make my new series much bigger, (up until now the majority of my plates have been 6 x 6cm and from the scrap bin!) but I'm feeling ready for the challenge and raring to go. I'm booked in next friday and I can't wait.
To view the rest of this weeks drawings go to my Flickr page.

Love this red wattlebird Bridget. It is a lovely balanced composition. I really like your bird sketches.
Thankyou cathy, i'm hopeing to make etchings from these drawings. a new series. I started yesterday with a new plate. it's a bit scary starting a new project, especially when my plates are about 10 times bigger than from my last series! (they were only 6 x 6 cm!)but it's good to be moving forward.
The spangled drongo, despite his name, is quite handsome! Or maybe you were kind to him?
I agree with cathy on the red wattlebird - I really like the touches of colour.. but the trio above is my favourite. Even if these ones were stuffed, your lines have so much energy and life.
