I went through a period of drawing nothing but crows for about two years. I really love them and enjoyed this drawing period immensely. The problem I had was that I just couldn’t get enough high quality images in the poses I wanted. I tried taking photos myself but I don’t have the kit to do that. Anyway, I bought an iPad and the rest is history!

Interestingly, a guy I know really loved these and asked to buy a print. I told him they were £80 for A2 and he got really angry, calling me a rip-off merchant and that I was scamming him. Needless to say, I told him where to go!

I drew these with an ordinary pencil, but also I used graphite powder. You can mix it with a little linseed oil to create really deep blacks, then brush it on like paint.
