Hello everyone! This is my entry for the the Artstorm Contest #13 themed "Owls" of @deemarshall under the non-digital art category.

"Genetically Modified Owl"

---

I wanted to make a portrait with an owl image so I merged their eyes in the woman's face. And this first step is an idea rough sketch.

Continuing the guidelines, I made random strokes for the owl's feathers.

And eventually putting more details on the woman's features like her eyes and eyebrows which I specifically like to draw but still not so professional in doing it (HEHE).

Then I thought that I wanted to change the way I drew her hair so I erased it.

Then drew this one instead.

I though it looked lacking so I added a little color to make simple highlights and not to overdo it. Also, I used 0.1 Uni Pen to darken the edges of the drawing.

For finishing, I continued using the blue-colored pencil all over her hair and the owl's too.

That would be it, steemians! I hope you like it!
