Red Tailed Hawk stage 5


Wow, never posted so many stages. Thanks for all of your comments and encouragement!

Last night I got out my pencils again and added more layers of color. I added several oranges, about 4 shades of brown, and 2 greys. I think I am almost done! I think there are a few areas to darken up even more and then I'll call it a day! I need to grab some reds also for a few spaces where the oranges need it. Hope you enjoy!

Dahlia


Created this piece from a flower in my garden. Enjoy! I'll be adding it to my Etsy shop soon!

Red Tailed Hawk stage 4


Slow going on this beast! So many feathers. I may g back to smaller fuller sized birds after this one! LOL!!! Actually I will be doing a barn owl next and then a Loon, both very detailed but I think I will do the entire bird on the same size paper as all of these, 8.5 x 11, so I won't have to draw every single feather! Don't know how Audubon did his!!!!! He was truly a master!

Red Tailed Hawk stage 3


More color added! Hard to get the area right between his beak and eye, but it's coming together!!!! I'm happy with it.
