Latest addition to my iPad drawing series. This one was harder because I was on a train at the time. Had a chance now to finish it in the Union Station lounge. I haven’t spent my normal amount of time with regard to detail because that attention is for the chickadee. 🎨

Always so happy to see the Trinity church when I visit Toronto. Brings back great memories of listening to the Cowboy Junkies album recorded here.

Finally had a chance to try a Microsoft Studio today at the Microsoft store. Pen didn’t feel great. Screen was big but the drawing apps were awful. Flipping the pen over to undo/erase felt like 5 steps backwards vs two finger undo on many iOS apps. Probably not a fair review.

I got a little more work done on this chickadee today. Crazy work week last week. This week has travel which means I have 8 hours on a train. Plenty of time of produce a couple of digital drawings. 🎨

Cleaning out the duck houses

Posted on March 24, 2019March 24, 2019 by Mike Hendley

In cleaning out our 5 duck houses around the pond, there are always interesting finds. I clean them out and replace the pine shavings every spring. I wrote in detail about it in this https://mikehendley.com/blog/2015/merganser_ducklings

14 years of drawing

Posted on March 17, 2019March 17, 2019 by Mike Hendley

My first drawing 14 years ago vs the piece I am working on right now. Practice, practice, practice. There are about 60 drawings between them (31 for Inktober 2018 alone). So thankful that I have a wife and family that allow me to follow my passion. Hope to do 60 this year. 🎨

Chickadee update – Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️

Posted on March 17, 2019March 17, 2019 by Mike Hendley

Here is a full shot of the piece. I have a large amount of finicky bark at the bottom left to do. I am happy now with the background. I also added a bit more shadow under the tail and bringing back a bit more detail. I remember now why I tended to draw smaller pieces 🙂 This is my first piece where I worked all areas of the paper. 🎨
