"Hawk WIP"

Here´s my first bird-drawing, still slight WIP, as usual A4-size, H- B3 graphite, blu-tack, chamois/paper tissue blended. I think its sparrow-hawk (I don´t know anything about birds

), and its sitting on a iron fence (if you wondered what those strange contraptions are

).
So please, all critiques and comments are very welcome.

Nice work!
im as lost as you are on different bird types,all i know is they are tricky

,ive mainly just drew them from 100 yards away in flight.
the one im working on might get taken up in the mother ship ,

This is beautiful work, Jukka. I love the way that the clarity of the hawk first attracts my eye and then the sharp detailing of the bird's eye and beak pulls my eye even further into the picture.

And that little tuft of feather sticking out from the breast that marks it out as a being working bird in need of a preen.

JL,
Very nice work!! I like how the drawing pulls your eyes right towards the birds eye. I have to say that I am a big fan of "birds of prey" and I enjoy looking at different artists takes on the subject. You call this a WIP, I'm looking forward to seeing the final drawing.

Thanks Bluesky, Jim, D.L., Mike, Vickie, Kevin

!
Referencephoto is from newspaper, and only 4”x 3” , so I didn´t know if this would work (or fly!?

)in details, but I wanted to do something completely freehand, and also something different from all those portraits.
In original photo contrast between the hawk and iron fence really caught my eye, so I decided to try if I can capture it in drawing.
I´m very clad that you like the drawing and don´t think this will be the first and last bird I draw.
Maybe I should next try some furry critter as hair is my problem in portraits…
Here´s the latest of this pic, I added some details in it.

Just had to comment again....I like the way you have included the iron fence in the portrait and left it slightly faded,it makes the hawk really pop out.

Thanks Vickie!
Well, I think that I declare this one ready. I added some details and more background and put it on my wall.

I don´t know why picture doesn´t show on this page, but click the link...?

This is really beautiful and well-considered work. I keep going back for yet another look and it grabs me every time.

I just saved your image to see if I can post it here for you and it turned out to be a .BMP bitmap image. It appears that it has to be either a .JPG or .GIF for this forum to accept it.
