Rough Eagle sketch on 5 x 7 inch approx paper By Bristol UK Artist Chris Shopland
Eagle Vision: Quick, Bold, and Feathered
This sketch is like the little brother of a painting that flew the nest a few years ago—literally. It’s a rapid, no-nonsense study of an eagle, captured with the same ferocity and grace that inspired its much larger and more detailed predecessor (which is now off living its best life in someone else's collection).
Done in fine liner with splashes of red and yellow pencil to add a fiery intensity to the eagle’s gaze, the piece is grounded by the calm pale blue-grey acrylic background, almost like a soft sky at dawn. But don’t be fooled by the delicate colors—this eagle is on a mission. Maybe it's scanning for breakfast, or maybe it’s just doing a solid power pose, reminding us all who the boss of the skies really is.
The bold paint pen accents give the wings a sharp, purposeful energy, as if they’re ready to break out of the page. It’s a quick sketch, but with a purpose: to capture the moment right before the eagle soars.
If you missed out on the original painting, think of this as its feisty cousin, here for a good time, not a long time!
