Description Oh hey. A finished pencil sketch/thing I did on work breaks, no less. (Commissioned work/portfolio pieces are still being resumed, however, have no fear!)

Crows and a bison skull. If you squint, the crows almost form the shape of the bison, were he still alive. I'm not too great at creating anything visually clever (and I wouldn't consider myself clever overall, regardless of the format of expression) so think of this as another tired cliche. At least I got to do more work with a darker lead (5B) for once. I need to do more of it!

And, if you like this and you like Society 6, you can find this as a print and more here: [link] It will not be offered as a print through dA, but if you want to support my work more directly, you can always note me for a print that I will print myself.

The hatching on the background crows is amazing, I thought it was a digital filter over it or something

Also this is cool artz

I guess I wouldn't have even noticed how they take the shape of the live buffalo's fur and whatnot if you hadn't said anything. But either way, it's a beautiful piece!

I wonder if I'd put less emphasis on detailing the birds and more on the silhouette, it'd read more... but then again, maybe it works this way, as it's more subtle? I personally have no idea. Thanks!

This is actually a really nice drawing and I do find it quite clever even if "skulls and birds" is not an unusual concept The crow peeking out of the eye socket made me crack a smile.
