This is where the heron is at. I sketched it which took forever. Then I darkened the pencil lines I wanted to keep and erased everything outside of those lines.* Then I outlined it with a black paint pen. Then I painted it. When I have more patience for it, I will go back over it and try to better cover the pencil and paint pen marks which are showing through. It looks horrible under bright light.
*I watched Bethany do that on one of her drawings and was amazed at how fast she can hone in on and darken what stays and remove what goes! What takes me hours takes her a few minutes. Laborious vs Gifted.
