I am following (slowly) a North American Guide to drawing birds. I have drawn the first two, a bluejay and a Canada warbler. I look forward to drawing this one soon. thanks again.

Is there any way to stop the animation at each step so that I can study it, paint, and then move on? I want to practice painting these birds.

I suggest my readers check it out. This technique is also fast in the field. I used to tighten things up at the end of a drawing with my graphite pencil. Now I like to use the white Prismacolor and a brown col-erase pencil. The advantage of the col-erase is that if I overdo it, it is can be erased!
