Time for some birds now

Dumbledore was an owl I had in my family before he passed away a few years ago

Here are some bird designs I drew based on the images I gathered. Out of these five i've prefered the 3rd and the 5th, however I like the beard like qualities of the 4th.

So now I have this guy. Time to give him some colours!

I used the colours from the images I researched and came up with six different colour schemes. I then looked at all of them together and found that I disliked two and was only super drawn into one!

This one drew me in mostly because of the colours. Despite them being majorly dark they bring out the facial features really well.
