Description
Another drawing made in the same black and white marker style as the previous bird drawing. This one has less detail, but that was purposefully implied for the design. This one is also less anatomically correct, but again that is just another part of the design. I will probably be posting art more often now that I am progressing more and more, and thus being able to complete drawings much faster. Anyway, I hope you like it!Have a great day

This is very striking with the vast difference in the contrast. Another way it's striking is the bird itself is to me looks fierce.
Another awesome piece!

This is cool. The strokes of the marker are not evident, which is remarkable. I like the style here; it is quite abstract like your last one, but the details are different. The contour is flowing, unlike the angular contour of your sad crow. There is space in the body of the raven of white to accompany the black, and the dividing line between the two is placed more or less according to the wing, so that the raven's front is black and its back is white. This makes much sense to the eyes of the viewer. The dividing line flows like the contour, giving a sense of detail on the raven and serving the same purpose of indicating feathers. The eye is a simple line and is shaped like a triangle. I like that the triangle is simply an extension of the black part of the raven.
The overall look is intriguing. The feathers appear rough, seeming to indicate a wind. The raven itself is active, carrying the motion in the feathers to its demeanor. While lifting its leg, its wings seem poised for flight.

Thank you very much for the comment!
One of the reasons that I like this style of drawing is that it can convey such a large meaning within a simplistic design. Emotions can be comprehended through the flowing of black on white.
I am glad to hear that I have captured a sort of smooth abstract appearance with this.
Thank you so much for the comment; you have a spectacular observation ability, and can depict the many meanings within a drawing

Very nice. I do like the bold black against white thing you've got going here. It can't be easy to incorporate that level of detail in with a marker, especially like that of the feet and talons, so I commendate you on that too.
It's awesome to know that you're progressing faster! Looking forward to seeing more!

Thank you so much!
I was fortunate enough to have a sharpie marker that also had a fine point on the other end of it, so that helped with the smaller details. It was a fun little drawing to make; using permanent marker is definitely a nice tool to use!
