Year 12 Body of Work and Other Doodlin's

Although we've now had several months to work on our major body-of-work for year 12 art, I've been procrastinating, and haven't really gotten started until a few days ago. Now that I finally have started, I was hoping I could get a few comments on the initial sketches, and hopefully figure out how to make an overall improvement.
Though I haven't figured out exactly what the work's meaning is, I'm generally going along an environmental theme. Basically I'm illustrating the various methods of foretelling the future using natural phenomenon (for example, auspices and haruspicy).
Here are some shots of my initial sketches (sorry about the crappy photos)...
The work consists of three central panels (maybe more, smaller sketches later).
This is the left panel. The birds seen in the background will be extrapolated so they create a frame extending through all three panels.
And this is the right one, a mirror of the left.
As of yet, the central panel is empty.

But i messed with the levels in photoshop a bit...still bad...but better.
It looks like you're just doing mirror images of each drawing...and that's it...
It's really too early in production to say much other than keep at it and scan these things for darwin's sake!
Also, does anyone have any good suggestions for artists I can use as 'inspiration'? Basically, the only requirement is that they follow a theme of nature, but preferably they should mainly use drawing (possibly in a similar, linear style to mine) as their medium, and perhaps take inspiration from tribal (such as American Indian) art.

On a side note, here's a quick portrait from tonight. Man, I have gotten really lazy with scanning lately, gotta get back in to the habit.
I still suck at shading.
Here's an update on my body of work. I haven't made a huge amount of progess, largely because I needed to catch up on the work in my process diary, and was doing a fair bit of research.
Heh, you're starting your body of work much earlier than I did. Granted, I did two thirds of mine about two weeks before it was due...
I haven't really progressed any further on this since I took the photographs (stupid half-yearly exams taking up all my time), but at the moment I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to fill the background. One possibility is to fill some of the empty space with bird silouettes in a sort of arc, forming a frame around the deer heads, or perhaps I could do some mock cave-paintings in the background.
Anyone got any suggestions?
