WT254 Goldfinch This was drawn as a Sparrow...which is a type of Finch right? So I just colored this one like a Goldfinch! They do love Thistle seed!
It's yesterday's Sketch and today's Ways to Use It challenge on Splitcoast. The WT... Cut It Out.

goldfinch popup Stamped it twice, cut out the bird and popped it up. I put a dab of glue at his leg where he's perched on the thistle, more realistic ya know...teehee.
It's colored with Copics with white gel pen highlights and a little Spica black gel pen on the eye.
