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.
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Open Topic (blogger’s choice)
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.

Silhouette
Carol tried to hide behind her camera. Standing as far away as she could, hoping no one would notice, she photographed people as silhouettes, two-dimensional beings, dark contrasted against light.
Over time, however, her camera became her connection to people instead of a shield. The individuals she photographed often came up to her with comments and questions about her work, about her. To them, she wasn’t just a shadow.
Eventually, Carol reconsidered her tactics. Stepping out of the darkness, she approached people, asking permission to photograph them, finding a universe of uniqueness, a fullness detailed in her newly discovered light.
