Drawing is a talent some are born with...and you was born with it my friend...takes time and patients to draw things like this well done....although in my opinion, should use darker pencils or maybe shade a little more.

    Yes, I could have added much detail in darker values, etc, but just wanted to draw a simple eagle drawing emphasizing the eye, one of its strength. I drew it in 2019 I believe. So I even thought about doing it in pastel now or do the partial face stressing the beautiful eye of a woman and Eye Beauty Vs. Eye Strength as it is the contest, "the eyes have it". I drew and painted two eyes as it said eye(s) in the first contest but they were so realistic, kinda scary and the person who drew just one pretty eye won. When and if I am able to upload physically (Have health problems), please view how I shaded the Masters' works I did. I regret you deducted .5 point as I only wished to do a simple drawing. Thanks for the review.

Beautiful depiction of this eagle my friend you did a fantastic job. I love the details and I love the dark background because it makes the eagle stand out so much more. Excellent work my friend and good luck in the contest. Thank you so much for sharing

    Thank you fine friend for your kind words regarding this simple drawing that I could have shaded more and stressed the eye even more. And, definitely thanks for the best wishes. You have an outstanding entry for the contest.

This bird looks strong and ferocious. Its eye is especial impressive. It seems to me that this eagle will catch every pray in its view. Your drawing is excellent. The strong contradiction of black and white is striking. The sparse lines, outlining the head emphasize indeed the eye remarkably. The tight framing is sufficient. The composition is balanced.

I really appreciated your notes, they are interesting and informative. The eagle has amazing eyesight indeed!
I think you did a good job in creating the eye, it appears pretty accurate in size and shape . The eagle expression is always so stern , as if this bird is angry. They are intimidating to see through the viewer on my camera when they look directly at me!
Well created eagle eye ! Well presented in this simple drawing of the eagles head.
Best wishes to you in this contest!

    Thank you so much, artist friend. I love the eagles and all of your outstanding photography. Your insightful and constructive comments really mean so much to me. I thought about doing this eagle in pastels, the eye in color and a woman's eye while contrasting the two with "Eye Beauty vs. Eye Strength"; then, just decided for now to do the more simple drawing. Thanks again for your encouragement.

Hi Glena! I really like this drawing which is so simple yet the eye is well detailed and the focus when viewing. He looks somewhat angry and that is a realistic aspect from viewing photos of eagles. Well done with excellent composition! Jodi

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that dramatic eagle head. Like the gleam in its eye. Tones and shades are nice. Well drawn and good luck!

A great explanation and a really special piece of art and your color choice is outstanding as the eagles normally have more colors but this one is so special as it radiates purity and freedom but looking certainly at humans to finish with such a thinking eye
Your detailed work is excellent - your background is well-chosen as it is black and white and your use of space is perfect as well - a special presentation - excellent results, well done, xoxo
