Drawing for August 10

I have completed the raptor! I wanted to try so many new and different things that I ended up doing all of them. I used pencil, ballpoint ink, micron ink, colored pencil, and watercolor to create this piece.



It was originally supposed to be just ballpoint ink but I thought I'd experiment a little. Now that it is complete I wish I had taken the approach I had taken with the wing over the entire piece since the wing is my favorite part. I am rather pleased with the result. I have so many art supplies it really doesn't make any since that I only use the pencils. I'm going to experiment making this raptor in oils in the coming weeks too.

Lovely drawing - (I'm a sucker for birds anyway), and the clarity of its eye is amazing!
