I think I might not be able to resist tweaking little things here and there, but all in all, the Honey Buzzard is pretty much finished. I’m so happy to finally see him with a tail, it was hard to imagine it before I started drawing it. Hooray!
What’s next?
So it was just a bit too tempting to add some pencil to the postcard sized pen drawing from yesterday… Here it is:
The colours seem to have come out a bit funny in the scanner, but the greys are a bit paler in the real drawing. I quite like working so small! But it makes me appreciate the time and detail I’m putting into the big Honey Buzzard quite alot more… Will put up a picture soon, perhaps tomorrow, as the tail is in progress, and I’m really nearly there!
A new postcard sized drawing of the same Honey Buzzard in black pen. Made a nice change to finish something in one afternoon! 
A big thank you to Richard Howell from Doodletuts for inviting me to feature on his website dedicated to drawing. My first ever interview!! Take a look, it’s up on the website now: http://www.doodletuts.com/interviews/interview-with-nicola-fielding/
Hopefully I might inspire some more people to get drawing!
Hopefully this image gets across the scale of the buzzard's wing (so far it's about 45cm tall, with more to go...)
It’s been a little while since an update, so here is the Honey Buzzard as it looks today, after another morning spent working on it:
Here is the honey buzzard after another days worth of drawing. Finally have drawn in the full wingspan. Next big milestone will be starting the tail?
My progress from both yesterday and today working on the drawing - the tip of wing number two!
