Time Ain't On My Side

I still have not found the time to get around to visiting other blogs lately. I wish computers in the lab ran faster and one was in my room!
I am working on a doodle for my future tattoo. The tattoo will be of martlet birds, but I think an abstract interpretation of the birds would be more unique. I'm struggling to incorporate my style of drawing into a concrete figure. This is by far the final sketch, since it is just doodled in my notebook.
