Regal Eagle

15x18cms
Graphitints(dry) and coloured pencil

My entry for this month's Monthly Sketch Project , the photo was kindly provided by Chrissy.
I'd love to get  this close to an eagle, you can see more of Chrissy's photo's on her blog.   I think this is the same fella that she's got posted there, although mine looks more blue...artistic license you know!?

Lovely drawing, nice capture of the feathers. The one that is on my blog right now is a photo taken at the weekend, I think the ones being used on the sketch project are all ones I took at the falconry centre and the light was very different.Amazing birds!

Wow, he's handsome! Eagles are such regal birds, both gentle and fierce and you captured that beautifully!
