This was my Thanksgiving week project, and is going to be a Christmas gift to my brother and his girlfriend. It's an Andean Condor. It's the first one I've done with the bird looking right at you, which makes things a bit more difficult. But I'm fairly happy with it. I couldn't quite get the head to look as rough and textured as I liked without it looking sloppy, but what's there is good enough for me.

Beautiful bird. Amazing detail in that drawing. Very nicely done, CW!

Wow, this is a great piece. I like that you tried something new by having the bird looking out at the viewer. Capturing a proper sense of depth for that can be difficult, but you did a great job. With that white mane (is that the proper term for a bird?), he looks like he's wrapped in an old fashioned cloak. I love that effect.

Thanks! The term usually used for birds that have neck ornaments like that is 'ruff'. But I knew exactly what you meant!

Reminds me of a superbe song : El Condor de los Andes : here is the first verse ! "El cóndor de los Andes despertó con la luz de un feliz amanecer. Sus alas lentamente desplegó y bajó al río azul para beber." And a link to listen to it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3VkW0lQBsA Enjoy !!! And the drawing is beautiful ! Greetings to the drawer !:)
A ruff, huh? Well, that should be an easy term to remember. I had a feeling there was a different term than mane, but that was all I could think of today. At least it got the point across.
Bumping up this beautiful bird drawing so everyone can enjoy it again!
