398 Drawing of a crow with ballpoint pen and watercolors based on a photo by TPJPhoto.net

I’ve been looking for crow photos these last three days. What a strange and beautiful bird! Finally I found a good photo on a blog called TPJPhoto.net

The drawing turned out good, but the colors are off. While crows are black, they have beautiful nuances of blue in the sunlight. My drawing looks more like an exotic colored bird rather than a real black crow.

Maybe I overdid the blue.

In continuation of my “chipmunk/squirrel” question from a few days back – could someone explain to me what the difference is between a crow and a raven?

Have a great day!
