I can let you know when we get the book published.<br />At this point I can not tell so much about the book, but the owls play an minor but important role in the story. The book is not about owls.<br /><br />The author let me decide about the owls, and I chose the Tawny Owl mostly because it was the best fit for both the geography and habitus. Sperlingkauz and Rauhfusskauz were my other alternatives.<br />I have studied Forestry and Nature-conservation in the Netherlands before I ended up as an illustrator and designer in Norway. I have worked in a few national parks in the NL. I found it very interesting to read about your owl-project, it sounds like something I could have ended up doing if I would have stayed in NL. Experiencing and being out in creation is still the best reference for drawing.<br /><br />One thing that I still want to improve with drawing these owls, are their intense black eyes that are in contrast with the colors of their feathers. I think it´s important to get that right.<br /><br />Greetings,<br />Jan WillemAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01319929450075536995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519566203536133001.post-3924586450610673962011-12-14T20:07:14.704+01:002011-12-14T20:07:14.704+01:00Hello!
