Below there are three sections:

• Cassowary Sketches - where I walk you through seeing the bigger shapes in a reference photo and then sculpting them into form

• Cassowary Drawing - where we work a little longer to develop the sketch further

• Cassowary Painting - where we play with watercolour and see what we can do!

There are links to the original source of the references in your workbook at the bottom of the page, should you like to try drawing or painting the entire beings too, rather than a cropped portrait.

Remember: Connection, not perfection. Go at the speed of YOU. And have fun!
