Hawkeye

9x12 Tombow black brush pen with watercolor on Bristol board 300 series, painted last weekend during WetCanvas' Weekend Drawing Event.  In that challenge, an artist must choose a subject and draw and paint within a 2 hour time limit, or if not done, photograph their progress at the 2 hour mark.  With this cropped version of the raptor, I only intended to do a value study with the Tombow initially, then decided to add watercolor for a glimpse into the hawk's environment.
