One of my favorite Owls, the Snow Owl. This one is a Female Snowy Owl, I think.

This is a very realistic, very good drawing of a Snowy Owl!
It's very detailed, I can see how much time you put into drawing this!
I feel that the only thing that bothers me in this drawing is that I can see some of the lines (assuming that you used lined paper) from the paper before it was drawn on.
Overall, practically perfect! This is probably way better than me in say, one or two years.
I love the expression on the owl's face in this! The sass!
The fact that you made something this realistic, is just awesome!
It's very lovely, continue the good work!

I think over all it is amazing, i like the background, the every single line you took on this, the beak looks amazing, even part of the wing is good!
But... I dont know if its me but if i look really close theirs a small dot near the beak, and the wings are a little bit too shiny, and one pupil is a little bit bigger then the other. And on one side i think it is a tad bit bumpy, but it is very beautiful over all, im sorry if im a tad bit harsh on judging but it is VERY good in my book, I hope you have a nice day, and I hope this helps you a little.

Thank you for the critique! I am glad you like the piece.
If I remember rightly, this piece suffered from a bit of water damage, the black dots on the piece are from that.

first off ...I love the eyes...they definitely have depth and a realistic look, the highlights in them are GREAT. I think the edges of the owl could benefit with a more nuanced gradation. You do this on the upper left side of the owls head and it works really well. I like the fact that close up there is more detail to be seen and it becomes fuzzy as you go backward but I'm not sure the transition is a flawless one. all in all I love the subject and think the drawing kicks ASS....but everything can be made better with refinement. keep up the good work!!!!

It's the subtle gleam in the eyes that really makes this stand out. Absolutely gorgeous! Love the effect on the body feathers.

I love how your rather loose style still shows all the little details. Itβs a great mix that looks absolutely beautiful. Very well done!

Spooky x'D I love the Guardians of Ga'Hoole world, even though I've outgrown the books. The whole concept is just so creative and nice :3

Indeed, the books where also poorly written. But the concept is nice.

Nice job, I tried making an owl myself some time ago, and the feathers in the face are hard. You nailed the shadows really good, and the eyes are amazing, I thought this was a photo at first lol...

The features have a flow, that's the trick.Β

I'll keep that in mind the next time I try to portrait an Owl, thank you.

Wow! This is amazing! I've always been a fan of owls, actually! (My favorite is the Short-Eared Owl, Asio flammeus.) Heehee...

Love the eyes! The feather details could have been... softer especially on the head, but the anatomy and structure of the rest of the owl is great.
