American Goldfinch
Craig Houghton January 6th, 2007
Here’s a goldfinch in the blue, the basics, and the render. I couldn’t get myself to do the bg. For those who haven’t seen my old sketchbook, I usually do the initial drawing first and correct until I’m happy. Paper permitting, I then do a light underdrawing for the final over my own sketch. When things need a lot of correcting, I sometimes do this several times over until I hit the final.
