Birthday present for my dad who always said he wanted to be a Golden Eagle, and he is a chef so I came up with this idea. I hope he likes it!

I have so many bits of scrap paper with practice colouring and sketches that I needed in order to get this perfect and I am really pleased with the end result ^v^ Golden Eagles are not easy to colour!

Overall I'd say about 15-16 hours went into this! It's my first proper, full colour, traditional illustration with a background! Done in markers entirely, oh and fineliner for the outline! A4 Bristol Paper.

I don't think I could have done this without the help of some wonderful people on FA who told me where I needed to make improvements on the sketch ^v^ THANKYOU!!!!
