Description
These are actually older than the foxes, but... EHH oh well, everything's probably out of order already. xD

I love loons

I drew this loon taxidermy that was in our nature lab. yesss, lots and lots of nature lab art.

Charcoal, each one is 18 x 24.

Loons are my favorite bird. (:
Maybe the only waterfowl bird I am not actually afraid of.

(black swans too)


Very lovely drawings of them, they each have their own personality encrypted into the drawings.

I've always loved your sort of horrific art style, and for that reason I've been a watcher for quite some time, but I find myself falling more and more in love with your charcoal works. It was the foxes that did it, blame them and their dar beauty <3

Wow, I love this! They are all so detailed, yet so expressionate. The top left study of the markings is gorgeous! Loons are funny birds, such unfortunate names hehe.

Beautiful. This is definitely a nice contrast to the rest of your pieces in your gallery. You should definitely draw birds more because you're quite good at them!

I attempted a charcoal technique years ago, but promptly gave up because of the difficulty I encountered... xD

Sometimes, I forget that a loon is a bird.

The middleleft picture is my favorite, that loon's expression seems fabulously demonic.

I love how you managed to throw some swirls into the top left one.
I think my favorite is the middle left..I love the concept of them flying and turning it into the head. The bottom silhouette is very nice too.

Loons, you mean?
I've seen some up close in the wild while canoeing/kayaking in New Hampshire. They're so pretty, and so is their call.

Bugsey58 In reply to IceandSnow [2009-11-13 14:32:07 +0000 UTC]

I always see them around my family's cabin and they follow us around in our boats...

Stunning! You're very talented with charcoal! I tend to smudge it all over the place and end up looking like a coalminer.
