When I found out about this week's IF theme I was sitting on the deck of a cottage, in the forest, drawing pictures of chickadees smoking cigarettes. So, it seemed fitting that I combine the theme of "forward" with a how-to guide to chickadee drawing. Of course, the real secret to drawing birds properly, is knowing where to put the cigarette. This is felt tip marker on plain old printer paper with some digital clean up and texture added. I was too lazy to try it in pen and ink plus I like the teensy bit of bleeding this ink does on cheapo paper.
