Drawing From life

I didnt imagine
that my model
of a Peregrine Falcon
whom I thought to be a
Hawk
would not stay still

Quickly I learnt
that Drawing from Life
involves drawing not
one portrait
but many portraits
each filled as the
bird moves to
offer a different profile

Most of the body
remains the same
you get that part
right quick

when a little ruffled
or bored
the wings might span out

But the head
moves
the left eye soon
becomes the right

The neck line
moves like
percentile graphs

During this attempt, looking closely at the eyes, I thought of how Jester looked like a baby. He was imprinted by a human.
