Oak Rooster


I've been prepainting backgrounds; now I'm looking for things to draw on top. This is a large honey oak rooster wallpiece carved by a friend's father.

I walk past it dozens of times a day and just now thought to draw it. What a gap in my drawing awareness! Now I'm excited at the idea of doing several versions.

Nita, I really like your rooster. The pre-painted backgrounds are a great idea! The colours on this page really tie in well with the rooster - I keep thinking of the dark green irredescent feathers on some species. Lovely drawing!

This is so neat! Great idea to sketch these things we pass without seeing!
