Putting in the main feathers and then I will add shading to the whole bird. Yes his beak was actually hooked like that, and I liked it enough to keep it in the etching :)
This weeks colours for The Summer of Color are 2 purples and a yellow and this is what I did with them. Not my favorite colours so really racked my brain trying to think how I could use them and which bird to use. Decided to go with a juvenile Golden Eagle since I don't have any photos of a purple bird :p I think I prefer the black background, the yellow seems to stand out more against it. Which do you prefer?
wonderfully realistic with that strong eagle presence
