Happy Vulture

Description

My heart is heavy with sadness, but I promised myself I wouldn’t create depressing or violent vent art like I did when I was younger.

 

I saw the Egyptian vulture on the show Face Off and thought it was one of the most beautiful birds I’ve ever seen. I’ve been afraid to draw birds for a long time since they always come out looking like mutants, but I thought it was time for another try.

I really love this piece because the simplicity of the style highlights the lines and texture of the head. It shows off the natural beauty of the vulture and is really pleasing to the eye. I just like that cut-paper look, if you know what I mean. You added a lot of detail to the face. That can be a bold move for things one has more trouble drawing, but I think it turned out well. That cheerful expression looks so inviting.
Best wishes from me, for what it's worth. I wouldn't mind seeing more birds in the future. I want to get better at drawing them too. ^^
