Description I've always loved owls and wanted to draw one and when I've found the refference photo I was very excited to begin . It was only later I have actually understood how much detail this bird required.
Therefore, I've worked on this one quite some time...to the point when I thought that if I draw one more line or dot, I shall start bleeding from my eyes , so I am quite relieved that it (sort of) looks finished.

Wanted to draw a simple, gradient background, but things didn't go according to plan and I had to erase it. Maybe I'll try again and then make an update, or maybe not.


Used:
- A3 paper
- mechanic HB pencil
- 6B and 8B pencils
- blending tissues and q-tips
- refference photo from 's stock : [link]

Beautiful work using the different pencils. You can really tell what feathers are darker in color- and over all you were able to evenly shade his form. Nicely done!

You're very welcome! I am in the same boat... After I started working full time I'm too tired to draw!

An owl lover, eh? Well then you'll be happy to know that not only is there a club for your kind, but that they're hosting a barn owl art contest. Deadline for entries is Sunday, so you still have time!! Check out our main page for info, or send a note to us if you have questions (or if you'd like to send us an entry).

You did an excellent job on this one! It looks like a black & white photo...those feathers!
