This is my response to the phrase "draw more birds". I don't know why I keep trying photo-realism in color, because it never really works, and even when it does it's not that much fun. xD

Funny thing is, I thought this was a spotted owl the whole time I was drawing it... only now did I look further and realize it was a barred owl. :P I was going to write a comment here about there being relatively very few pictures of spotted owls... I guess I was right.
