blue blue heron

there's a new character on the fishbone that i'm thinking about...a blue heron. i'm going to have to research this bird more before i can work him up in color. i've never been closer than half a football field away from one and i've never seen more than one in the same place at the same time. this sketch is just an idea, not a study. i'm sure there are important details that i'm missing. eventually, what i would really like to do is make a tall, full-color stand-up that can stand on my desk or the fireplace mantel. so, i have to learn more about what a blue heron looks like and how to make a stand-up. i'll let you know what happens.
