Snowy Owl stage 1

Okay, so my eyes were going buggy trying to keep the shapes of these feathers in the correct order and I'm sure i'll have some erasing to do. But I love a challenge!

Spotted Dove Bird finally finished!

It took a while but she's finished and I'm happy with the way she turned out. I hope you all enjoy her classy shawl of back and white freathers!

As I said in my earlier post, leave a comment here, and in one week, I will pick one name out of a hat and send you an 8x10 giclee of your choice, from all the birds and critters I have drawn since January, this one making 25 total! I'm very proud of myself if I do say so myself!.

But I'm not going to stop here, I still have 75 to go this year and next up is a Baltimore Oriole! Orange is my favorite color this year, so this one will be extra fun. Have a great week!

Giclee give-away!

Once I finish this spotted dove, I will post the image and ask for comments. Then after a week, I'll put everyones name in a hat and pull one out to receive an 8 x 10 giclee of your favorite bird, mouse, squirrel, or rabbit. It will be the 25th drawing I have made since the beginning of the year.

Just to refresh your memory, this is all I could do to draw birds when I started, and before I really sat down to look at them and practice, practice, practice. So never say never! Just keep practicing! I'm just not one of those people who can draw from memory... obviously! It's been a mind altering experience.

Having fun adding more feathers, but feel I have a long way to go!

I have a long way to go on this one tons more spots that I have to turn into feathers and I have to figure out how to create warm reddish grey brown out of my pencils! I don't have that color! Yikes!

Here's Lucy!!! sounds like the name of a show! This is the first drawing I have done of these birds without using the pen and ink. I'd love lots of feedback as to whether you prefer them with the pen and ink. Thanks!
