Gob smacking again, the feather detail is just awesome:t:

PS Do you get plenty of strange looks as you lug your scope around a zoo

It has been a long time since I 've uploaded my last fieldwork..
I spend today morning once again in the zoo where the Mississipi Alligators caught my attention as well the Rhinoceros Iguana.
Attached the results of my efforts...

another big WOW!!! to the master of the pen....I hope you got a yearly pass, or they are letting you in for free, a crowd puller on your own :t:..mark
 
They are fantastic! How long do they take on average? Is it just a ball-point pen? wow...

Danke Kathrin, Thank you all!
I feel overwhelmed from your comments!
It seems that I have to start to make thoughts how to reveal my secrets!:) :)
But until then let me share with you something else, something which looks like fieldwork
but it's actually not.
There are studies based excusively on my own video footage-they are of course not of BBC quality, but they help me a lot to understand better my subject... my beloved Bonelli's eagle and Levant sparrowhawk..

It depends on modell's cooperation John..Many consider reptiles as an easy object to draw because they use to spend their time on a certain position for a long time, but it wasn't the case.. I should say that the Alligator was in general an easy subject and took me about two hours to complete it, while the Iguana moved its head and front legs constantly in to various directions ...therefore I had to give up soon because of my limited spare time...

A pleasure as always Paschalis. I thought of you and your work as I bought a new brand of ball point pen to try out yesterday.

Look forward to seeing the results Ken!

Stunning pen drawings here as usual, I have to sat the study showing how water surface skews perspective is quite wonderful, a wonderfull study...
 
Back from the zoo again ,this time without a black pen study but with an Alligator in watercolour.. The reptile was underwater for at least 45 minutes(note the bluish membrane in his eye) and gave me the opportunity to complete this drawing only with brush (without using a pencil for a preliminary sketch).
