This morning’s bird.

Early this morning I dropped off a colleague at the airport. He’s about to teach a watercolor painting class abroad with a bunch of our students.

Before leaving my house to pick him up I decided to do a quick sketch of a bald eagle I saw down by the river in Sioux Falls a few days ago.

Pencil sketch for volume and shape, fudenosuke pen for darker outline, Tombow brush pens for color and shading.

A pencil and watercolor sketch depicts a bald eagle perched on a bare branch.
