Description
I made this drawing almost 2 years ago with stippling technique. Materials used: sharpies.I love eagles so that's why I drew this and I thought it was a good way to practice the stippling technique. I was going to draw the grand canyon as the background but then saw it was too much work.
special thanks to skyworthy, for the lovely critic and his love for eagles which made me upload it

I am completely blown away by this picture. It is a very clear picture of an eagle (which is my favorite animal by the way.) You used a technique called stippling. Stippling is very forgiving when it comes to mistakes. It is however very time consuming. I expect that you spent a lot of time on this and it shows. I am very impressed. As far as criticism goes I find no fault or flaw in what you have done. I think you should practice this form of art a lot more often because you are very good at it. If you sold this as a print I would buy it. Keep up the good work. and as always: Rise up Soar on my Friend

The only thing better is if we got a chance to meet face to face. Unfortunately that's not likely

Wow. Striking image and nice technique. I've attempted stippling once or twice but never manage to get anything even approaching acceptable, so I think this is amazing.

Yes, I'm sure I would...if I spent the time to do it. Most of the time either I don't have the patience or other things *coughSCHOOLcough* get in the way of devoted practice...
