Happy New Year and More Owls

in Sketchbook3 years ago (edited)

Happy New Year everyone!
2021 was a rollercoaster year. I met so many wonderful people and collaborated with many artists. There is something great about finding similar artistic minds. We are all different, not all of us fit in, but we can relate to each other! Let's hope that 2022 brings something awesome for all of us.

This is another owl in my Owls of Crypto series. This one is called Moonlight Owl. I wanted to create something that reflected the peace and wisdom of the all-seeing owl at night. Owls have always been special to me, and I relate to them because I am a night owl also!

This one is a little different to my usual design. Sometimes when I look at my first sketch, I laugh because I can't tell what it is to begin with

It could be anything really! But that's how it starts so I go with it.

Then I will start to outline the basic shape with the black pixel brush

Then on to outline main blocks of colour, no major details just yet

Some more detail and a little outline

More detail and change the colours for a darker mood

Now for some layers and filling out the wings

Adding more details around the head

Now for some more shadow added
