Colorful Owl Illustration

Last week I started a new colored pencil drawing. The idea was to continue in line with the Peacock drawing I completed last year. There are only two days work into it, but I love how colorful it is turning out. I usually start with whatever part of the piece I think will be the most difficult to do and work out from there. That explains why there is so much detail in the face. Anyway, I thought I would update you with where my attention has bounced. I am very excited about the progress so far and expect it to turn out as beautiful as my peacock image. As always please feel free to ask me questions or give advice!
