White pencil drawing, based on a beautiful photograph by =Ryser915, called 'Wild' [link]

Don't know about you, but to me this drawing kind of associates with snow and winter, despite all the flower blossoms in it. So I think the finished work comes just in time, as the snowflakes are starting to fall outside. A little wet and messy, but snow all the same!

I've never thought I'd be drawing a portrait of a hawk rather than its full-body picture. But the photo reminded me of watching a bird performance several years ago. This deep and concentrated gaze of a hawk impressed me even more than their wide wings or a beautiful flight.

Thank you for looking!

Tools:

which paper you suggest to draw realistic prtraits . . . . and how dark pencils too??

~Snow-Owl Jan 23, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I think the one with a smoother surface can be the most appropriate for realism - on this kind of paper you can blend the medium smoothly and add smaller details. But since I like that a little bit of texture is seen on the papaer, I'm usually choosing the one with small grains, it's called 'eggshell'.

For the pencils - use a bigger vairety of them. 2B is my favourite, while HB goes for lighter areas and 6B-9B for darker ones, you can also add some coal for extra dark areas.
