内容简介

With clear instructions and detailed illustrations, this guide reveals how artists can render anatomically correct versions of two popular owl species: the screech owl and the snowy owl. Wood carvers, sculptors, and other artists are provided with detailed line drawings that document the bird's natural behavior and demonstrate how to realistically portray their heads, beaks, and claws as well as their top and underside feather patterns. More than 50 scaled illustrations of the outsized snowy owl are accompanied by convenient scale charts, while nearly 100 life-size drawings are offered for the smaller screech owl. An opening section on the physiology of both species and their habits, comprehensive field notes, and exclusive color charts with paint references by Lori Corbett complete this invaluable resource.
