(Commission) Arden Reference Sheet
Finished three-sided, default-style reference sheet for 
BirdTho! This is, I believe, the first three-sided reference sheet I've done on commission since 2018 thereabouts?? Like to think I've gotten better at 'em! ;P
This one presented the unique challenge of making sure the bird represented was *specifically* an adult northern goshawk. While I do specialize in species variation, there are times where I remember that a lot of my knowledge is general! I'm pretty familiar with the differences between a hawk, a falcon, and an eagle, but not necessarily between a northern goshawk and a red-tailed hawk, as an example. There's something really rewarding about working on pieces where I need to find that nuance though - thanks to the client for being so patient working with me on this one! I think the reference sheet came out a lot nicer as a result.
