CLIENT: Robert Alvo, for his upcoming book “Being a Bird in North America“

Just a simple illustration of the Spotted Owl, rendered on the Wacom, using Photoshop & Illustrator. I removed other elements that I feel didn’t work, but if you want to see them, I encourage you to buy the book on its release!
I love this drawing, the line work and colours. Simple, straightforward, cute and fun.
