Baby Cardinal : Sketch by @Banrai (Andrea Brooks)

I've been trying to make myself sketch from real life / photos a little every day, just to get my butt back into gear. Here's a 15-20 minute doodle of a baby cardinal - yes, the same one that I caught some time ago.

More people should draw from photo references. I don’t understand the aversion to it, especially in this fandom. Why would you not draw from life? I mean… I guess it’s no wonder that so many people have such messed up anatomy. :/

But oh well,, haters gonna hate.

Also: guess who got to the feet-ish area and decided they gave no actual f*cks? :C
