Whooo is this? Look familiar? It's Owly I drew earlier! The theme for artstorm is Owls and I wanted to see if I could enter my feathery friend here.

As per contest rules, I stopped drawing him at the 15-minute mark, which is the time allowed for an entry. I quite like the sketchy unfinished look of it.

Note to @deemarshall, the contest host: I hope it's okay that I posted this earlier. I am planning to make cryptoart together with the themes of Artstorm. I will make 2 posts: one for artstorm and another more finished version as a cryptoart post. Please lemme know if this is fine to do. Thank you!

Process

I used a soft tip Pencil to draw the outline in dark grey. The colors are made with the same pencil, making different strokes to create the texture of the feathers, tree bark, etc.

Here is my entry again!

Finishing Mr Owly

After saving my 15-minute progress, I continued by giving a brown background using the paintroller brush and drawing in some leaves with the Pencil.

A sleepy blinky Owly

Bonus!

I was exploring the concept of Owls and made this doodle of an Owl Ring made by a fantastic lady on instagram, happy_mur_shop. She makes different themed rings, but the owl is one of my faves.
