I thought I'd better get in a bit of practice!

What gloriusly rich colours and a very chickeny expression.

Excellent Lin! I'm not crazy about birds in general but love sketching roosters.

The rooster is very realistically rendered. Great!

Great color on this -- and wonderful highlights on those feathers around his neck. How exciting to illustrate a story, too!

Fantastic Lin! Looks just like the chooks we used to have.
