Anatomy of the owl looks correct, so great work with that, I particularly like the fierce expression of the owl, I think it would look even fiercer if some vibrant colour was added to the eyes. The patterns of the owl's feathers also look nice, and I don't think they distract too much from the eyes which I see as the main focus of the drawing.

The only area for improvement for this drawing, besides considering adding colour to eyes, would be the shading. As it is I think the drawing looks quite flat so I think some shading in some areas would help bring more realism to this piece. One area I think would look great with darker shading would be below the eyes, some dark shading there would help draw more attention to that area. Other areas that would look good with shading include on the chest, and perhaps the back of the head which I imagine would be darker since it is further from back from other parts of the drawing. Perhaps if you do make changes and decide to add darker shading, I think some pen highlighting main or darkest features might work quite well?

Overall I think you have done a lovely job, and I look forward to seeing any improvement you may (or may not) make to this piece.

This looks nice! I especially like the eyes. Did you use a reference or was it from your own mind?
