Another sketch based on an illustration, as opposed to the object itself or a photograph. This isn’t a specific wing, but an idea of a wing. Lots of artists throughout history have painted wings of all kinds, so I may have to look up some of them and try it again. In the meantime, use your imagination here, squint, or both.
An imaginary wing
Until the last few sketches, I’d been using actual objects or photographs of objects. With the fish (and dragon, of course), I looked up some illustrations and “just tried it.”
Goldfish, mostly
And as I’m into trying new things, I thought I’d actually use some of my colored pencils. The word “goldfish” invokes the idea of color, so why not? I’m glad I tried something new, but I think my results are so-so. But, hey, it’s only a sketch!

Not That Easy
“I can’t just go walking up to it in the middle of the day and retrieve the gun, Ted. It’s not that easy. How was I supposed to know it was going to be cleaned up and opened to the public as a park. Yes, I know which tree it is. Don’t worry. I’m almost there. Everyone should be at home now, keeping warm.”
Coming out of the copse, Seth stopped at the bridge, silently staring at the stump where the tree used to be.
“Seth,” Ted’s tiny voice came out of the cell phone. “Do you have the gun?”
