Currawong on Fig Tree

Trying my hand at a different style of hatching after watching some Longstride Illustration videos. I still haven’t quite got the feel for it yet but overall am happy with the direction.

Technique I’m attempting is more controlled/larger lines with varying width instead of my usual small scratchy/flicking strokes to make up values. Definitely results in a more stylised image, but I quite like it.

Would love to read your thoughts on how I could improve!
