Foden is a young Harris Hawk.
He is the brother of one of my Harris Hawks (Clayton) and was trained by a friend of mine who volunteers at the bird of prey centre I work at.
Recently, my friend gave me some wonderful gifts. No reason, just because he could. I figured this kindness should be repaid, so I did this picure of his beloved boy for him!

I absolutely love your pencil pictures!
They look so realistic o.o
It really makes one think about the details of the animal's shape.
For example the small feathers on the cheek and the transitioning of texture on the beak.

Ohh gosh thank you so much!
I will admit that doing closeups like this, you learn about silly little details in an animals' face that you otherwise wouldn't have noticed. (You also learn that some textures are easier to replicate than others. This bird is much softer and floofier than I've made him appear! XD)

What a wonderful gift! I love the splashy inks, the smoothness of that shading, and of course the gorgeous eye

Aaah thank you so much!
I'm especially glad you like the inks. They're super metallic irl; the browns shine gold, and the greens shine silver!

It must look amazing! It's a shame scanners flatten the metallic/shiny look of things like ink and even coffee, because it looks great in real life. I went through a stage in college of just pouring gold ink onto canvas because I loved how shiny it looked

I kinda wish I had taken a photo of it before I gave it to him.
Yes! Totally! Things look so much cooler in real life. If not for shiny, then for texture!
(And that gold ink sounds incredible omg!)
