12. Brent goose (Branta bernicla)

Bit rushed today and as a result this brent goose is a bit shonky, most noticeably the shapes of the bill and the pale flank. I've also struggled to differentiate between the various shades of black, brown and white on the bird.....maybe some colour is in order. It does take me longer if I'm using colour but it is more fun and would be good practice. On a day when I have a bit more time, I'll try incorporating colour into a drawing!

Due to Chris's reading group taking place in our front room last night, I couldn't scan this until the next day - hence the delay.
