This is amazing. Did you draw / paint it? what using? I love it. Anyone from the corvid family is a friend of mine. So much character you've caught in that face.
I'm glad you like it -- I'm very proud of it, and I still can't quite believe I did it.
It's washable blue black ink -- using a pen and a fat brush and a thin brush. The yellow bits are bleach on a sharp stick and a pen.
I'm taking an art class, and this was one of my projects. It's from a photo.
I picked it because my grandmother's name for my grandfather was 'Cor', short for Corbeau (French for crow). Her family crest is a chough, so I've got some crow connections, too.
Hillgrandmom -- I left the eye blank for ages because it seemed such a challenge! The teacher told me at the end of one class that I should try it the next week once I'd spent some time getting warmed up.
Jennifer -- that's a huge compliment! (I'm a big fan of Jennifer's glorious project to draw every mammal there is over at The Daily Mammal).
Rashmi -- I feel kind of intimidated by it, too -- I don't think I'd be able to do it again in a million years! Shows what the support of a great teacher can do...

It's beautiful. I love the eye--like a photograph. Wonderful!

Oh boy! You've just inspired me to bring out the paint brushes. (and also intimidated me!)
