- Gather 3 different references from birds (at least 1 needs to be a bat).
- Draw each reference as you see it with simplified manipulated forms.
- Rotate each reference 2 times in a different angle (for a total of 9 drawings).

I actually found these more difficult than the reptiles. I think I have trouble visualizing the flatter plane like shapes of the wings in space than I do cylindrical shapes.

Nice work so far, try to use more simple forms (think boxes, cylinders, etc.) Right now your mannequin is a 2D copy of your reference with some contour lines. In this exercise we don't want to make a nice copy of our reference, we want to understand the underlying forms.

Hi there. Here it is my first round of birds. I am having a blast aand my brain is hurting at the same time. :)
The two thinks I find more dificult are:
1. How to show wings bending toward the camera.
2. And the head from the bat.
But this execise it is increasing by far my visual library!
