Description
I did this for a Christmas card a few years ago. The body is done in graphite while the wing was done using Sumi-e ink (Japanese ink painting) and the red halo was added later using Adobe Illustrator.I did some work studying and practicing using Sumi-e techniques in high school so it was nice experimenting a bit more. I wanted to do wings that were a bit less defined as feathers and were more about shading.
I really should start up with the ink work again...wanders off...

I(t takes practice, but it's very calming. The hardest part is getting the right balance of shading.
