Description

Well this picture is something I am immensely proud of. I worked rediculously hard on it and it took a very large amount of time to complete. Take the four large primary feathers... It took 2 hours to do those. And there are lots of very tiny details to be found all over this drawing.
The details that I paid special attention to:
- Eyes, I fail at eyes, but if you download it, you can (maybe) see them.
- Freckles (on the arm and on the face) These were very difficult to do but I think I succeeded. The scan didn't do it justice though, That's why I darkened it in PS.
- Hair (On the scalp, arm, and leg) The normal head of hair wasn't too terribly hard but the hair on his arm and leg was rather difficult.
- Fabric Folds (on the shirt and pants) Drawing wrinkles in fabric is immensly difficult and it was very frustrating.
- Stitching (on the jeans) drawing the faint lines of sewing on jeans is really hard to do as well.
- Feathers (on the wing) Don't even get me started...


Drawn in graphite pencils of varying degrees of hardness. I used a kneaded eraser and a blending stump as well. I used several different references but this was, for the most part, all guesswork.
