I think this is probably the longest I have worked on an etching so far. Even the big A3 ones I did for college didn't take this long to do.Still needs some shading once the tail feathers are done, so maybe finished tomorrow?
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?
And it might just be the best. Amazing.....
