Owl Illustrations

These stylised drawings were a set of 'postcards' I designed as part of my Illustration course. They were inspired by my love of owls and dream-catchers, so I mixed the two together using extra fine liners :)The owls were based on photos of real birds; the barn, pygmy, long eared and eagle owl (in order) were the birds I chose to draw, mainly due to their distinctive features.

Edited Version


This is the final, edited version of my illustration piece and was made through use of photoshop. Usually I prefer to work in pencils rather than editing, but I am happy with the results and will definitely use photoshop again :)

Journey's Project - final piece

This was my final piece for an illustration project I finished today, and this is the unedited  original version which I drew in pencil on brown sugar paper. It is based on my sketchbook I made specifically for this project and it is a combination of the different aspects of each day as I traveled further and further away from my home. I am very pleased with the overall effect as I wanted it to have quite a childish feel to its composition, as it links with my memories and my attitude towards the places I grew up in. :)
