White Swan - Daily Drawing

Friday November 3, 2006
Today's daily drawing assignment is this lovely swan. I've also included a couple of closeups from a different photo, in case you need more detail. This next group of reference photos are courtesy of my very talented sister-in-law, Julie, who took them on a recent visit to England.

I thought about sticking to one 'theme' for a while, but then decided it would be more interesting to mix it up a bit - variety is the spice of life, and all that. Feel free to add a link in your comments to your webpage or photo-host, if you've done a drawing you'd like to share. It will probably get held for approval before showing up, but I check it most days. Happy drawing!

Wow, what a lovely photo of the swan. The other photos are great also. Looks like I’ve got plenty to practice on. Thank you!

I’m glad you like them! I think Julie has a really good eye for photography. I should suggest another overseas trip – I could use some photos of Europe, Jules!
