Victoria Saxe - Drawings from Nature: Great Grey Owl

Great Grey Owl

Common name Great Grey Owl
Scientific Name Strix Nebulosa
Medium Pencil on paper

I drew this owl, from a photograph, to serve as an example for my students. The drawing is composed of graphite pencil techniques that scientific illustrators use. The very tight detail of the eye obscures the fact that much of the drawing is done in a sketchy manner.
