Its not easy getting the proportions of a bird right , get the head to big for the body and you lose it , something I do on my first attempt often. Your dove is perfect.Hope its not to noisy , ours get much louder at this time of year

Happy Easter

hi Claire, it's nice that you've decided to pick up that pencil again and well done i especially like the Great Tit the stance is very recognisable. Keep it up.
