Chicken; a little at a time

Chicken seems to be the perfect one for me at this time -  I know fear has no place in any art.  Or is it fear but do it anyway?   The creative process feeds my soul - yet fear puts my soul on a diet.  I'm not giving up,but I know some of the more adventurous artist out there are saying - "Just Do It" , and they would be right.  Just do it, and have fun doing it.
The chicken was drawn with pencil.

Good paper makes a difference - think I will stop saving the good paper

I can see that the paper I am using is not the best that I have - and I better do my next drawings on the better paper.  Although it is good to practice drawing on any kind of paper you will get better results with a finer grade of paper.  The cheaper paper gives me more freedom to make as many mistakes as I need to when I am learning and improving, but the better paper as I mentioned above gives better results.  

Using a sketchbook is a challenge for me because all the practice drawings that do not meet with my approval are there to haunt me - although it can also show me when improvement is made.
