First drawing assignment.... my little owl
 

Just thought i'd share some more artwork with everyone :) This was my first assignment for the semester, we had to pick an animal that represents us as a person.... i chose an owl cause they're loners & nocturnal, they also symbolize magic & darkness.... their flight is silent.

That is beautiful!
 

That is such a beautiful drawing :cool:

Very good!!! Excellent!! Was this etched from black ink??

What an awesome drawing! I love how it's all in black and white. :)

Thanks guys! :xoxo:


Yes, ink is probably my favorite medium.... Luv it!

Oooooo - there is a little Chagall going on in that. I like it!

So just explaining how you did this. Your "canvas" is covered with a thick coating of black ink and then you use a tool to "clean away" and expose the white beneath. Have I got that right? It's been ages since I have worked in this medium.

No, actually thats relief printing, or scratchboard (which is a specially coated paper that you scratch into) I did this drawing with just black ink & ink pens on watercolor block (which is watercolor paper but thicker, & stays flat on the pad until you remove it w/ a palette knife) Thanks for asking! :)

I really, really like it. That is outstanding. I'd have that on my wall, but I have some owl stuff up in my house (that my mom did) anyway. And the symbolism and feeling of owls is very powerful, IMO. I don't want to steal your thunder, but just want to show you one of my faves. (owl on bottom).
Again, very good, me loves it. :woohoo:

Ah! Very good. Very good! :wavey:

Thank you! :xoxo:

P.S. - just noticed the tiny cityscape in the background. Very pleasing. Very nice.

That's amazing, Carei......you're very good. I'm so jealous of those with artistic ability; I can't even draw a stick figure.

Maybe i should come paint your house! :laugh:
Thanks for the lovely compliment... your a doll! :xoxo:
