Hawk drawing after another week of “light” work

Filed under: Nature Still-life — Debbi @ 4:56 pm

It was a week of light work, both hour-wise and pencil pressure-wise.  I decided to move ahead by lightly layering in most of the hawk, so that I can see where this drawing is going.  I think there’s something about working on the blue background that makes it a little more challenging to develop, so I thought that this might help me out.  So, here is my drawing after a “light” week.  I’m finding the holidays very intrusive on my studio time, and hope to have more time this weekend and next week to concentrate on drawing.

  2. Thanks Lynda. Blue and Brown and cream are one of my all-time favorite color combinations.

  3. That is one dead hawk.

    On a serious note, I think the feathers on his/her chest are particularly well-done. They make the belly look so soft.
