Female Cardinal

Last Monday I came across a picture in our local paper of a female cardinal. I'd found it while waiting for my daughter to finish at the doctor's office. I'd been working on my first poem- the first in a long while- so I already had a pen and paper in my hand. Inspired I began to draw the cardinal. I had barely closed the outline when my daughter emerged from the office.
Today my computer had issues so I picked up the pen and paper to add finishing touches to my cardinal. Pleased as I am with the outcome I think the cardinal needs more feather detail and plastic surgery on its beak. I guess that's to be expected from someone who has no art training in their background.

I bought a book called The Art of Pencil Drawing by Gene 
Franks the other day to see if I could teach myself to draw. I chose a rather big project to start but, I finished it tonight. At least the end result wasn't to horrendous and I'm encouraged to keep trying.For the curious at heart I've copied the original below.
Merry Christmas Everyone~

Upon my Caucasian skin as
I walk across Feng Shuied stream,
This chasm of youth,
With bare and crooked feet
I silted the stream,
Each step, breaking Zen
Like a foreign language
Translated and broken into
Fragments of sound until
I washed away in the sediment
Waking along the
Extended banks of peripeteia
Sutured to my new life.
