Description A rufous Eastern Screech Owl bust drawing. This is a combination of ballpoint pens and colored pencils, and I'm pleased with the realism and expression I captured on this pretty. One of the prettiest owls I've seen.

8x8 inch drawing.

There's something magical in this art. Maybe it seems to me so just because owls contain magic within themselves as they are. But the art is charming and captivating, indeed. The work is very gentle and the eyes look into you and know everything. I like it very much.

Thankee kindly! Friendliest, cutest owl I'd ever seen (he is part of a bird rescue's education program), and thankfully he didn't fidget too much so it didn't take any more than an hour and a half.

That's a very pretty picture! But I think the shading of the owl's feathers should be a bit darker if it's night.

Thank you! Truth be told I would have but I was drawing off a rescued owl model in broad daylight. XD They had a shade and black backdrop but it wasn't nearly as dark as a natural scene.

He was a sweet little owl.

wow, you were drawing a live model? Did he (the owl) move around a lot?

Surprisingly, no. They were very chill and relaxed and didn't move much aside from a little head swivel. 

He may have been fascinated with a particular woman's jewelry, and stared at it with this expression for a long time.
