New Drawing/Study of Great Horned Owl Skull

Filed under: Nature Still-life, colored pencil — Debbi @ 4:46 pm

I’ve been working on a new study of a Great Horned Owl Skull (when not busy watching election returns and results!).  There will also be another skull in the drawing, most likely that of a shunk, which happens to be one of the favorite foods of a Great Horned Owl.  I’m doing this drawing on Canson Mi-tientes paper.  It’s nice to already have a color in the background and work up the whites and work back the darks.

  1. It looks like the skull is sitting right on the paper!

  2. It’s interesting how the brown paper really compliments the illusion of the skull. It really has much less detail in it than if I were drawing it on white paper, Holly.
