Description Heh...this is about as close as I get to life-like drawings. They just never look quite right when I draw them. This one I liked though.

There's a bit of a story behind this picture. This was originally a commission from a local Boy Scout troop. They needed a banner that represented their patrol group animal...a blue falcon. So I drew the picture, and not long after they tell me that it's nice, but that they don't need it anymore. Why? Because they decided not to become a patrol group. *sigh* Oh well... I love this picture though, despite all the trouble I got from its commissioners. ^_^

Usually I can't either. I got lucky on this one...and it helped that I had some reference photos too. Thanks very much though!

Thanks very much! The wings were really hard. I had to use a few reference pics of real hawks to get them right, admittedly.

Wow I just learned something new ...never knew about the 'claw' thing but I'm usually drawing humans, humanoids, and furry anthros anyway.

I love how you did this it's so awesome I would have never known agout the claw thing if SamBlob never said so. The only thing I really pay attention to on birds his the head and wings, I'm obsessed with wings. Again I lve this plus I like blue.

Thanks! ^_^ I'm glad you liked the pic! The wings gave me no end of trouble, especially the feathers. I like blue too...though pink is my most favorite color. Thanks for the compliments!

SamBlob In reply to ??? [2005-02-09 02:47:17 +0000 UTC]

Excellent.

One thing troubles me, though: AFAIK, birds have three claws to the front of each foot and one vestigal claw at the back of each foot. Yours, OTOH, seems to have four uniform claws in radially opposed pairs at right angles to each other.

I could be wrong, however. Just thought I'd check...

Mewberries In reply to SamBlob [2005-02-10 01:10:42 +0000 UTC]

You're right, SamBlob. Birds of prey do have three claws towards the front and then one vestigial claw.

I had so much trouble with the claws; I wanted to make them look correct anatomically, but I didn't want the falcon to look...stuffed. So I tried to make it look like the falcon was extending them as far as it could, as if it were just about to snatch something up...but they kind of ended up looking like crane game machine claws.

I'm glad you liked it anyway, though. Thanks. ^_^
