Owls are nocturnal hunting birds with eyes that face forward. Owls sleep during the day and emerge at night to hunt small prey. Circles of radiating feathers surrounding each eye, giving them a wide-eyed, alert look. Owls have feathered ear tufts; these are not ears, but are part of the owl’s camouflage. I chose the European owl for their orange eyes, done in colored pencil, this is the 4th in the Predator series.
Animal images usually dont do anything for me but what you are doing is awesome. Just, just awesome.
You really have captured more than just the obvious here, which is very difficult with rendering animals, but a great level of emotional depth is surging through this beautifully rendered piece.
You made a wonderful drawing of this Owl, the eyes are realy fanstatic.
So intense! I’m loving this piece.
