Description I had no muse anymore since my daily visitor is not coming any more, I am somewhat worried about the young raven, but still hope that he is alive and well. My friends and I named him Razul which we thought it would fit him. I took some time to finish the head of this one, because I felt that this has to be finished somehow, in a kind of memory for Razul. Many of you know there has been much more, perhaps I am going to finish these parts in time, but for now this one is finished. Due my lack of muse this one is sloppy and not one of my best...

This one is a young common raven.
german: Kolkrabe (lat. Corvus Corax, engl. common raven)
Done in graphite 9B, a brush for blending the background

the end... for now.

I still hope to see him again, sitting on the tree near my balcony and watching me with watchful eyes....

Da wird man ja glatt neidisch! Meine Versuche einen Raben zu malen sind alle kläglich gescheitert.
Aber das Bild hier ist echt wunderschön

Aww, it's sad that you don't see him any more! I hope nothing happened to him!
What you have done so far is really very good though, and it's not sloppy at all! ^_^ You did a great job on it!

Gefällt mir gut . Besonders der Schnabel wirkt sehr realistisch, und ich mag auch die Struktur der Federn .

Solche tierischen Besucher sind schon was Schönes, manchmal schon fast ein bißchen unheimlich ^_^;. Wir hatten hier mal eine Amsel die uns täglich besucht hat, und uns sicher auch in die Wohnung gehüpft wäre, hätten wir keinen Hund :'D. Und bei einer Freundin von mir hat ein Eichhörnchen auf dem Balkon überwintert xD.

Ich hoffe ihr seht Razul nochmal.
