Tyto Alba

Look I submitted something on my birthday.

After visiting my local zoo I got inspired after watching a bird show. I've never seen one and having owls and birds of prey fly over your head is amazing. Barn owls are becoming my favorite owl.

This is just a study so it shows my more sketchy style. It might look a little weird because I took the photo at a bit of an angle. Taking photos of traditional art can be challenging.

Also inspired by this Harry Potter music video. [link] and this Legend of Guardians one too:[link]
