Hello and good morning all,
Today I'd like to share one of my favorite things to carve. A flying owl..
It didn't start out pretty, but then again, none of them do until they do..
Here it is blocked out with bulk wings attached. I attach them bulky for strength and stability.
Started honing in here, getting closer.
One of the wings broke off so I had to replace it..good thing wood is forgiving.
Dialed it in with details..
Here it is after details and ready for the torch..
Here's a gif showing the torching process..
Hit it with the airbrush for some shadowing, and varnish.
Lastly, a splash of white with a dry brush to finish off.
I hope you enjoyed seeing what I saw, I love what I do and I'm happy to share here on Peakd. Please do stay tuned as I have much more to share on this awesome platform. Thanks for looking.
Jon
