Description

This was ruined by water, but I cut out the bird and stuck it onto the red card with Prittstick. Then I photographed it and made it more punchy in Photoshop I probably posted this here in 2007 and then removed it. Fineliner pen and water on cartridge paper. A3 There is a lot of detail if you view it full size.

Full size, this is like an etching or even a glyph painting done in rock. The drawing looks meticulous and careful, you got a lot of detail in that simple profile. The eyes, upper wing, the markings, etc. And your postwork makes it gritty and intense. It's reminiscent of old bird prints from the 19 C. Also, you made good with the water-stains---following the old adage of using catastrophes to one's advantage. A fine piece; and in zoom it really takes over the frame. It's always a pleasure to see your drawing and painting. (And btw, that's one long beak: If you're at dinner with this guy, give him what he wants! You don't wanna tick this dude off...)

He doesn't look too happy. Perhaps because he got wet. Very resourceful and creative salvage on this. The detail is superb as is the post work. The background and its treatment is perfect.
