Description Finally, it's finished! A bald eagle pencil portrait done for my great uncle. This one is going to be hard to part with, so I'm going to get a copy for myself. This has to be one of the more serious pieces I've ever done, I feel that I've accomplished something with this picture. Hope you like it!


Done with mechanical pencil on heavyweight drawing paper.

Mechanical pencil is awesome, I like it so much better than regular pencils. They make cleaner lines and you don't have to sharpen them, so they don't get dull.

Thank you! Do you think a certain style comes through in my realism? I thought it would just be a plain 'ol realistic pencil piece! I'm glad you can detect a style in there!
