My project for course: Realistic Illustration of Birds with Imaginative Elements

I tried not to think about the idea for a long time, just start drawing the base and think about the rest while I was doing it. With each line and dot, I understood the symbolism of my drawing and what it meant to me better and better. It took me the longest to dot the background, but I must admit that stippling is a form of meditation for me, so I didn't feel bored even for a second.

The ink comes to work and the drawing begins to gain strength. I am even satisfied with what is happening (and this is no common in my case).
