Sketchbook Sunday: Two More Wagner Owls

Over the past 3 days I've spent 13 hours hand-coloring the same A Wise Old Owl print for books for my Kickstarter campaign, and boy, I needed some relief in the form of some loose, no-pressure sketching. I'm on an owl kick (obviously), so I did few from taxidermy owls from the Wagner's collection. These two I like best for their fluffy textures and curious expressions. They are done in sumi ink, conte crayon, and vine charcoal.

(Older Wagner owl sketches can be found here, here, and here. No doubt there will be more in the future as there are still more Wagner owls I haven't drawn yet and those I'd like to draw again.)
