Hello!
Today I want to participate in one of my favorite incentive contests - ART EXPLOSION, hosted by @juliakponsford.
Now week 80 of this contest is already underway. The last time I participated in week 48 ... I missed a lot)))
So this week's theme is animal spirit.
In the main characters of the art, I chose the image of an owl. I think this animal is endowed with spirit and something mystical is present in it.
See how it looks at you? Strict and attentive, like a very serious teacher.
After the contest, I will draw a tasty mouse or snake for her so that the owl becomes kinder and more affectionate. In the meantime, let it be so mysterious.
So, here is my full size entry:
The background glitters a little ... sorry, I could not wait. until i will dry))
And now the process of how the spirit of an owl was created)
It all started with a pencil drawing. The pencil was not there, so I draw with a liner.
Next, I took out my favorite watercolor. I really wanted to draw an owl with markers, but still, the watercolor technique suits the task of the contest better.
I tried in what color scheme to paint an owl and background
.. and how to add more mysticism to the work ....
And then - EYES!
In each work, I consider the eyes - the main object. I try to draw them right away in order to already understand who I'm dealing with :))) As long as the object has no eyes, it's just paper. When the eyes appear, I already draw alive object.
A few details ... streaks, spray .. and the picture is ready)
I hope you like it!
