Here is my koi sketch, based on the video by Sketch2Draw.

I sketched this on my own. No YouTube video this time for guidance. I find feathers particularly hard, but I tried one anyway.

This might be a hawk feather.

I think this is “good” on two levels: (1) I took the time to sketch it and (2) it shows progress. But I wouldn’t call it a good sketch of the feather. There is still lots of room for improvement.
Here is my sketch of a tree, based on a YouTube video by Leonardo Pereznieto.

I had difficulty with the leaves. Put them in, erase some. Add some darkness, take it out. Finally it was just time to stop.
Here is my sketch of an eagle, based on the YouTube video by Leonardo Pereznieto.

My friend Pat gave me this angel statuette. I must have taken hundreds of photos of it while it was in her garden. Now it’s on my front porch. I adore it.
