Description Edit: Let me know how the "exposure" is on your screen. Depending on how I tilt my screen, the paper looks dark and splotchy or everything is blown out and you can hardly see any detail.

Another silverpoint drawing! This was mostly done from "life" (*ahem*) at the field museum, of a cormorant specimen in the bird lab.

The scanner cut off the bottom of the image. :\ Maybe I can get a decent photo later.

It was kind of a funny experience, because most of the work I've done at the museum was with a teacher who stressed erasing and drawing measuring lines in order to get the perfect drawing. But you can't erase silverpoint, so I had to use a completely different method with this.

(Oh, and I added an extra joint and feathers to the wings. I think my roommate named this one Castiel. Very creative. Hur hur.)

I was referring to the name Castiel.

I should have been more specific

Looks awesome on my screen. Well, it could be a little darker, but it's more of my preferences.

It's pretty light on my screen, but when I tilt it back, it's beautiful.

On normal screen the image is really light. I have to tilt my screen all the way back to make out any details, but when I do, it unveils a gorgeous cormorant. And being a sucker for well drawn birds...I fav
