Sketch Doodling with Prismacolors

I've had quite a bit of time due to the winter weather over the last few days. So, I was able to play around in my sketchbook. 

Suicide Birds

As I drive to work and around town these days, I feel like all the birds have gone crazy!  They seem to nose dive in front of me as I'm driving down the road. It really alarms me!  I always try to slow down to give them time to fly by, but goodness, sometimes it is really a close call. I've taken to calling them suicide birds. Last Wednesday as I was scrolling through Pinterest, I came across several whimsical bird doodles and drawings, and of course, I thought about the suicide birds. So, on Thursday while I was waiting between parent appointments during CAPS conferences, I created a little whimsical drawing of some birds.  Here are some pics of the progress. 

I love the colors I used in this drawing. I used some basic prismacolored pencils. I've never really used prismacolors before. The last six years of my seven year teaching career has been with middle level children. So, I never spent money on expensive colored pencils. I must say I'm hooked!  I'm looking forward to getting a larger selection of them to work with! 😍
