Two Quick Sketches That I Like

I did both of these sketches on Monday. One of my clients has a few items on display from the Field Museum in Chicago. It's hard to take a break and go and draw, but I did it for about 5 minutes on Monday. I did two sketches. This is the better one. It is a northern waterthrush.

Later in the evening, I took another short sketching break and did a quick one of my hand. While the proportions are a bit off since the thumb is too long and the hand could be wider, I like the curl and interconnection of the rest of the fingers.

I like both of these sketches. I've looked at this page in my sketchbook several times this week and when I do, I find myself smiling each time.
