Dove in ink

9x10.25 ink line and gouache sketch done today to repeat yesterday's Sketchbook Skool assignment as I did not do the lesson right or so I thought.  I used an antique concrete dove, one of two mourning doves I've had for many years, and quickly did its outline in pale tan gouache.  When dry, a more precise wide black ink line was done with a marker, then with a ultrafine tip Sharpie pen put in the details.
