These are looking great Jessie. The colours of your bird are particularly gorgeous. Funnily enough I too have a bird in a cage sketched out for IF confined. Not sure I'll get around to working it up though - time is just running away from me at the moment :(

There is a difference for sure in a scanned image as I can see from your two illos, which are really lovely Jessie. One day I am going to treat myself to a scanner, one day...

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink.
