Bird Drawings

I had decided to start doing drawings of birds so I took some books out of the library on birds, 'Living Birds of the World' by E. Thomas Gilliard and 'A Sketchbook of Birds' by C.F. Tunnicliffe R.A. I then started drawing birds from these books in a simplistic style like in the archive piece. I especially liked drawing from the sketchbook of birds as they were already quite simplified. I have now thought about working these with the paisley patterns I have previously drawn, I had also thought about doing more research into the photographer Etienne- Jules Marey and trying to convey movement in my prints.
