Well, it's been a while since I did any artwork, but seem to have found some motivation recently to get back into it, more on a personal level than anything else.

There's some great work on some of the threads which I've enjoyed looking at, so here's some pencil notebook sketches - ripped from the archives -of a trip to Gambell, St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Straits. Brunnich's Guilly and Red-necked Stint.

If anyone uses colored pencils and blending sticks, I'm interested in learning any techniques or methods they've found works best for them.
