Drawing Timelapse: European Eagle Owl

Watch this painting come to life and discover the process behind it. Plus, I go in search of owls in children's literature.

I sketched this owl in preparation for the Birds of Prey drawing session and what was supposed to be a quick 15-minute practice run, turned into an hour of blissful drawing! I’m not good at following time restrictions…

Anyway, I’m glad I recorded it as it made a nice little timelapse to share with you, plus it was the only ‘good’ drawing I did that day, the ones I sketched during the actual session were hilariously bad! 😆

If you missed it it live, catch-up on the replay of the session. This post includes lots of bonus images, courtesy of Emily from Icarus Falconry.
