Description
Well its been about a year now since I started drawing again and one of my first drawings was of a raven (currently used as my avatarThe scene looked pretty bleak to me so added a dash of colour from a holly tree just poking into the picture and it gives things a more festive feel.
I used a slightly larger than A4 Bristol smooth board a 0.5 mechanical and 2b/4b pencils for the drawing plus gimp to add snow, oh yes and picasa to bump the contrast a bit after scanning.
I'd like to wish a very merry Christmas/Yuletide to all viewers, watchers and fine upstanding deviantart members.

You have drawn a beautiful raven! And the background with its holly berry bush, bare trees and falling snow makes it perfect! I absolutely love it!
