Owls are truly awesome birds. They are found basically all around the world and can vary from the super small elf owl weighing only 12.5oz (40g) with a wingspan of 10.5 inches to the Blakiston’s Fish Owl weighing up to 8.8lbs with a wingspan of 6.5 feet. The eyes of an owl are not true “eyeballs.” Their tube-shaped eyes are completely immobile, providing binocular vision which fully focuses on their prey and boosts depth perception. Owls can rotate their necks 270 degrees.

This piece is approx. 6 feet long and took close to 3 hours to complete.

The idea of drawing an owl is thanks to my beautiful wife. My wife and daughter are always helping with ideas for my chalk art.
