and the next...

So, rolling right along. Here are some bird sketches, also for the same story. I was simply playing with different flying positions and bird species, on one big board, and then decided to attempt to pull them together as an actual illustration. Didn't work too well, but it helped me to work through some ideas for the next one.

Incidentally, I am feeling as though the adjustment period is smoothing out a bit for all of us here. Which is really good.
