Description Everyone is fond of owls.

In this piece I do battle with my sworn nemeses, Color and Value... and get beaten horribly >_>

My first speedpaint. I must say, it's really fun. This definitely won't be my last.

Time taken: one hour.

D'awwww. I have the strange urge to snuggle this owl. :3 Very cute. Don't most owls have little feathery "ears" on their heads, though? or more square-ish heads? I dunno, I don't claim to be the expert on owls.

I leave that to the King of the Beavers. XD

But yes! More speedpaints~

I didn't use any reference, just sort of attacked the canvas. And left it bleeding. >_>

You can't fool owls.

Hey, it still looks cute. :3 And I love the scribbliness, I think if you keep practicing value differences, it would look even better.
The canvas doesn't bleed! It's KAWAIIDESU anime pictures obviously traced over in Paint that make eyes bleed! >____< Always remember that.

And no, you're right. I can't.

Not even if I hide at sea.

I've always had problems with value. It was Mr. Schmid's first comment every time I asked him for help with a drawing- make it darker.

Nope, not even.

There are owls in the Navy.

Are you worried about making it TOO dark when you draw, or just having trouble figuring out where to put the values...? It definitely a tricky thing to work on. >____< Gah. Everybody struggles with it at different points.


There are also owls in my gravy. And probably in chicken stuffing. D: NOOO! I ATE OWLS...!

I'm not afraid of making it too dark; it seems that I always naturally make things really light. I have to just learn that things are darker than they seem.

OM NOM OWL.

I love the eyes, their just so... eye-like. Does that make sense?

Heh, I tried to overdo the shines on them.

Also, they're.

Makes sense.

Except for mice and shrews... and Simon Cowell.

Coloring is easy. Value is easy. Smashing them both together to create something that doesn't look like shame? GAHH I WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY.

Though I must say this does look very nice. Good job!
