Head Sketch #18

Number 18 Head Sketch of Chief Red Cloud of the Sioux tribe from the 1880s.

Head Sketch #17

This is the a sketch of Crow Indian Warrior, Curley.  He had been one of General Custer's scouts.  Custer should have listened to him and not charged ahead at Little Big Horn.

Head Sketch # 16

This is a sketch of a Cheyenne Indian Girl from 1880.   It is based off a picture of her when she was 8.  I did this in pencil on white paper.

Head Sketch # 15

This is an another of the Head Sketches.  This is a sketch of a French Foreign Legionnaire from the 1950s in Vietnam.  I have been working on the head sketches as a way to improve my overall drawing skills which will help on the painting skills.  Painting is drawing with a brush and it all is hand-eye coordination.

Head Sketch # 14

I have returned to the Head Sketch practice.  This is in pencil and it is another of the Korean War soldiers.

Regal Sunbird

This is an ink drawing, but the bird is really more interesting.  The best way to describe this bird is an African Hummingbird.  He is a Regal Sunbird, they are not related to the Hummingbirds of the Americas.  Nature can track animals into similar looks and behaviors while the species are separated by continents.

Malayan Banded Pitta

This is the Sunday work, an ink brush drawing with markers colors of a Malayan Banded Pitta bird.
