This is an adorable owl! I especially love how he stands out against that beautiful background. The eyes and beak are very realistic. Love how the eyes draw you in,

Astonishing work! The texture is almost real. The eyes reflect the wisdom in a very real way. The contrast of colors is perfect. Very well done.

How cute and a good rendition of the tawny owl! Nice colors and the eyes are wise looking! Nice choice of b.g. color to make the owl pop! Good feather textured and like the portrait view. Best of luck in the contest!

I like the colours throughout the picture. There seem to be something missing. I think that it needs some eye lashes .Hence the star rating.I think the beak has been done really well.Interesting write up about the subject.Good luck in the contest.

Lovely color blends and a lovely picture. I too have always loved owls. The rare sighting in our area of the Snowy White Owl i've never been able to capture. Have the screech owl and the great Horned owl. love the composition.

Very cute. Love the colors in this. Something seems a bit off but I can't place it though so I won't take off for it. May be the eyes.. not sure. Nicely done.

i love the eyes and all the texture in the feathers. The colors and details are sharp. I love the softness of background.

Comment from The Condition Black


Very nicely done. Your stroke is very gentle and fairly well defined. Good contrast and great use of color here. Good tonal range. There seems to be a lack of depth around the eyes, they could have used a little shadow. As it is they look a little more like those little wound plastic that you stick on things. That is being overly dramatic of course, this isn't that bad. But a shadow would have helped create a little depth for you.

All in all this is a very nice work of art and an excellent entry into the contest. Good luck!

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


Very interesting story. Different cultures have different beliefs. In Indian myth, owl is not considered a symbol of good fortune. But I think it is a special bird having many physical attributes like non-blinking eyes, ability to turn its head etc. be that as it may, this is a very fine drawing you have posted. I like his eyes. Good luck in the contest!
