"Raven", graphite, pencil crayon, oil pastel on paper, 19x25", 2023 (commission) #birds
I thought this was a photograph 😭
Stunning work!
Came here to say this. Simply amazing!
I’m a big fan of the Corvids especially the genius ravens. I so wish I had more wall space for art. This guy was the gatekeeper in the rain at a thermal pool in Yellowstone. Ravens definitely have our number. 🪶 I didn’t know you did commissions.
I'm always open to being a brush for hire.
Hey Leslie. Would you consider allowing me to use this photo as the basis for a drawing?
I would be honored. Yes. Thank you for asking.
Cool! I'll keep you up to date when something happens with it.
Do you have a website and/or a prescribed process for requesting an estimate?
Shoot me a DM. Prices are by size & medium. Drawings start at $250(Cdn). The raven shown was $1200.
So beautiful! I can sense the intelligence, composure, and dignity of someone who has survived for several years.
I love His/Her.
I legit thought this was a photo. A very gorgeous photo. Well done!
Lovely shading, beautiful drawing. I'm glad I saw this on my feed. Thanks for sharing.
My wife just asked if she can get this tattooed on her upper arm :-)
Just don't let the starlings see it or they'll chase her out of town.
Oh my goodness this is GORGEOUS
Raven feathers are such a complicated thing in terms of colour and this really does them justice
Capturing such a subtle/low level of iridescence that accurately must have been a real challenge, holy moly
Yeah xeneth, a lot of layering. I start these with a white pencil crayon base then layer up from there.
That's so good it makes me want to hate you for that type of talent 🤣
Talent only goes so far. It's mostly practice, really. I couldn't have made something like this 10 yrs ago. Gotta put in the hours.
My "artistic" talents are so terrible that I literally screw up doing straight lines with a drafting square🤣🤣🤣. The phrase "Bless your heart" is usually the first thing out of peoples mouths. 🤣
But it makes me appreciate others abilities soooo much more that I openly advertise my jealousy.
