Owl Gesture Drawing Demo

Watch as I use gesture drawing techniques to sketch the behaviors of the great horned owl. Each drawing took me about 2–3 minutes, focusing on movement and actions rather than fine details. I used images and videos as reference.

I sped up the video a little so it’s easier to watch. Gesture drawing is all about capturing the essence of the subject quickly, so you’ll see loose lines and quick strokes that help bring the owl’s behavior to life.
