From hubby’s duck collection.

One-footed duck

Duck statuette

I left out the bottom of the statuette; it looked hard to draw. Well, everything looks hard to draw. Now that I see the photo and the sketch together, I see a number of things to do differently. The head is tilted too low. I have the dark and the light in opposite places on the chest and side. The foot is also tilting down too much. Hmm, learn something new everyday, right? (Which is the point of all this!) The goal is to see these things the first time around and then sketch.
