You`ve right Andrew, there is a sketch of a Bonelli`s eagle ,and since it isn`t a "real" fieldsketch but based on a video footage of mine, I didn`t want to upload it..
In this case I`ll make an exception...

Both very nice. It's amazing how bright the white areas are, I assume by just leaving the paper as it and not touching it. It's always shocking how effective that can be.

Mr Bic strikes again with a fine Eagle. Im glad you threw it in here even though it wasn't a field sketch. Copied from Videos or in the field they always impress me> I cant wait for more talented work from you in 2013 B

The eagle is strikingly good, and the guinea pigs are up to your usual high quality of work as well. I would worry about an eagle being in such close proximity to the guinea pigs - that could result in an unhappy daughter.

Majestic lion. You should work further on that one.

I continue to marvel at the natural feel you get on these sketches. Just amazing what you can do from life...I would struggle mightily to get something this good from a reference photo that wasn't moving.

nice surprise this evening- got in late to find a still-plastic-wrapped copy of Birding World thrown into the Ed pile- with a beautiful Chukar on the cover which obviously even at a glance was yours

just wondering if the bic pen pieces will fade over time...sure hope not these deserve to be around forever.

Back from the zoo, no Bic pen sketches this time but I`ve been rewarded with a coloured study of the male Indian Rhino called "Nico".
There is always a risk , starting a detailed study from life because nobody knows if the animal will stay there for a while..but without a risk there is no reward!

Excellent work, Paschalis! Your subjects possess a "personality" that is missing in my artwork. I envy your talent. Keep it up!

that rhino popped up on my fb newsfeed for a tantalizing few seconds then went away somewhere...so glad you posted it here a riveting work, and that sawed off horn says so much. I love the use you made of the toned paper and texture. an incredible work from life

No risk, no reward is right! I guess that's part of what keeps it so exciting, especially with results like this.
