Great Horned Owl Pen and Ink drawing

Well they didn't quite upload in the right order, (still getting the hang of the new SG )but you get the gist.

I start with a light pencil drawing of the basic shapes I'm looking for and I use crowquill style dip pens and ink from an inkwell and at the end I use a little bit of vine charcoal to smooth out some of the hard whites and add a little shadow depth where a hard black line won't do.

I'm still kind of playing here, I'll have to get a little better at this blog stuff, ha.
