Pastel drawing : Eagle owl

pipoune (64)in #art • 5 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone !

I come back after a long absence by showing you a dry pastel drawing that I made.
It is a eagle owl, an animal that I find majestic.

It must have taken me about 15 hours of work. I have applied myself in order to make the soft texture of the feathers as good as possible.

Here is the evolution of the drawing :

Hope you will like it ! :)

Don't hesitate to comment or subscribe, i will appreciate that !

Have a good day, see you next time for a new creation ! :)

Wow, what a beautiful piece of artwork @pipoune! I'm sorry I arrived late to give you an upvote on all your hard work. I read through the comment and really don't understand all the "source" stuff going on, but maybe next time, post more pics showing the progress? But really, you did a remarkable job on this owl ... you're right ... so majestic!

Thank you to @celinavisaez for featuring your post in her Pay it Forward Curation Contest entry too :)

Thank you! :)
Concerning the sources, I was criticized for not having put a link to the original photo that served as a model for my drawing.

sources (40) 5 years ago

When posting content that either is owned by someone else or inspired by someone else’s works, it is proper to list the said source in your post with a link to the original.

Failing to do so is considered plagiarism, and could result in being blacklisted by curation groups or even flagged.

Examples include:

Using another artist's original drawing/painting/digital art as a “study” or inspiration without linking the original and giving credit to the original artist.
Linking to someone else’s YouTube video with no source.
Using someone else’s photos or text without linking to the original source etc.

Please make sure you do so in the future, thank you.

If you understand the rules explained in this comment reply to this comment with "I understand"

Very good work!
I will just point out that according to the source, this is a Great Horned Owl - something I'm quite familiar with.
I found you because @celinavisaez featured you in the Pay it Forward Curation Contest. Keep up the great work!
