A bit of messing about with pencils - I used photo references for all of these. First up, the sort of sparrow I see round here a lot.
This is a flock and I took a slightly more abstract approach. I love how some of the images of sparrows in flight contained an array of blobs that didn't look anything like birds at all. Those three weird shapes are fairly accurate!
This one is an attempt at a Eurasian sparrow although I don't think I nailed the shape. About two years ago, when Abbey was in Tokyo he used to send me photos of the birds on the bird feeders outside his window. I know a handful of words in Japanese. Abbey's English is brilliant, but bird language is a bit specialist so it took us a while to figure out that his visitors were sparrows. They are different to my local sparrows, but clearly related.
