Title-ing

Monday, again, it was cold. The chill factor was in the high 30s low 40s even tho the thermometer told us it was high 40s to low 50s for most of the day. The sky, again, was overcast. My house work was done, I had concocted a rigatoni and sausage soup for dinner in the slow cooker....I wasn't in the mood to read, nor being on the computer. Bored as I was, I popped me some popcorn to munch on, and, I took out my sketch pad and began another pencil work of a favorite bird [one of a whole slew of 'favorites']. This time an owl. I had saved this image on my smart phone's gallery in hopes of someday to open the image and draw it. I worked on it off and on during the day and finished it this morning...

I had Silent Sentinel, The Fortress Guardian, and Command Post listed in my thoughts for giving this new sketch of mine a title.

I finally picked one....

Title: COMMAND POST

Leaving the breast clean of feathers, I decided to add another simple sketch of an owl in flight and a bit of 'scroll work' for a 'fantasy effect'. I worked on the owl in flight with a bit of overtime involved. My first attempt, the owl head looked more like a monkey's head. So, the eraser came in to the project!! LOL...after rounding the owl's head a bit more and adding the ear tuft feathers it now resembles an owl more than a monkey in my opinion...tho, far from professional!!  The sketch pad has been packed away for another rainy day!!
