Barn Swallow wallpaper

I recently found out that bird-watching guides have bird "voices" listed with each bird. I'm now very interested in the bird field guide and have been borrowing it from my boyfriend for quite some time. (I also make him do the bird voices sometimes, he is talented ;).

After watching several shows about mammals, I had an urge to draw marsupials. I re-instated my library card so I could get some pictures. It's been a long time since I've drawn like this, but I like doing it.
