Description I wanted to do something related to this theme for quite sometime, but I never found a good reference or enough inspiration... Well, two days ago a friend (in real life, not here in DA)
went to a zoo, and he send me this picture, and said I could use as reference... (The pic would be the snowy owl)
So, what I did is take the picture and draw it a little bit different and after add the books... Simple uh?

This is the fifth I guess, of my owl series! you can check the rest of them at my gallery, and don't forget to write a comment!

Makes perfect sense. An owl can represent wisdom. Great sketch

hey! so, I used a 4B pencil for the books, and I used a 6B pencil to draw the black details on the owl, but when you're drawing snowy owls you need to be careful to the paper don't turn into gray xD
 I also used a cotton piece to do smooth the shadows

Reminds me of the owl from the Harry Potter movies. Lovely work as always!

yes, I think that the concept of the owl together with those old books remind us of Hedwig ^^
And thank u!!

Oooh! looks so beautiful. That owl reminds me pretty much Harry Potter's  owl name Hedwig. xD
But amazing work by the way!

Thank you! 
I didn't think on Hedwig not even for a second while drawing this, but after I finished it I have to admit that she was the first thing that came up on my mind! xD
