Did this at the airport/airplane? Wow! I like the hen's feather. Great texture!

Cristen, Thanks heaps.

AFA, Thanks for the comment. I had fun doing it. Too many years drawing eagles for Harley-Davidson... couldn't let that feather knowledge go to waste.

Plump and cuddly. I really like it. The kids gave it the appropriate "AwwwwwwWWW!" Now they want chickens cause they're so cute. Lovely. Don't draw dinosaurers any time soon, kay? Land of the Lost won't cut it.

dugbuddy said...

Hmmmm, dinosaurs? now that get's me thinking.

So, I have to know. Did you draw this without reference?

dugbuddy said...

Mr. B... So curious you are. I did have some reference for the pose. But once that was established, the rest is done from out of my head. You have to remember, I did tons of eagles when I did work for Harley-Davidson for those 7 years. Either motorcycle drawings or Eagle drawings. My choice. Since I hated rapidograph pens... I chose eagles. I got really good at knowing how the feathers lay and how to render them.
