Back to the Sandhill Cranes. This is an early sketch and although I like the spontaneity of it, I also see all the flaws. The legs on the crane on the left are too short and the knees are in the wrong place. I do like the loose line and the pen and ink work. Usually I use dip pens, but since this was drawn at the museum, I used a felt tip called a Micron. I am hoping to do more drawings at the museum, but have not been able to go these last couple of weeks. May is such a crazy month when you have kids. The schools try to do everything in one month!
