White Pastel Pencil on Black Paper: Barn Owl Perched

Here's the link to my latest YouTube video. A time lapse, just over five minutes of a drawing of a barn owl.

I used an image I downloaded from Wildlifereferencephotos.com, desaturated it and drew a graphite study.

I worked from the gray scale photo and the drawing to draw the barn owl on black paper with white pencil.

...and here is the final drawing.

Alcohol Markers Just for the Fun of It

 Well, a lot has happened to me artstically in the past two plus weeks. I decided to go back to working with alcohol markers and alcohol ink. I really need to have some fun and to experiment and that's what I'm doing. I've opened a store with Threadless.com and I'm selling prints of my work as well as designing some T Shirts. That's where the fun comes in. Just getting started and not very much to show at the moment. There are many attempts and failures and I'm still waiting for materials to come in so there's been a bit of a hold up in my progress. 

These are among the first of my designs. I'm hoping to get more interesting as I progress. We shall see.

I have been trying different papers and different materials and having fun with little progress but that's all changing. I'm just trying to keep the ink work simple. I'm not giving up pastels or pencils but I really just wanted to have fun with TShirt design and simple images.
