American Kestrel

Thanks to =MeadeBurd for letting me use this photo as a reference! [link]

This one was a bit of a failure in terms of realism... and as usual, it scanned too light and you can't see the lighter tones. But it was still good practice, and I learned some things I should do in the future. I'm figuring out another technique with realism, so be looking forward to another, more well-drawn bird of prey from me in the next few days.
