Product Description

With clear instructions and detailed illustrations, this guide reveals how artists can render anatomically correct versions of two popular owl species: the screech owl and the snowy owl. Wood carvers, sculptors, and other artists are provided with detailed line drawings that document the bird’s natural behavior and demonstrate how to realistically portray their heads, beaks, and claws as well as their top and underside feather patterns. More than 50 scaled illustrations of the outsized snowy owl are accompanied by convenient scale charts, while nearly 100 life-size drawings are offered for the smaller screech owl. An opening section on the physiology of both species and their habits, comprehensive field notes, and exclusive color charts with paint references by Lori Corbett complete this invaluable resource.

very useful for sketching ,drawings and carving
no hesitation to recommand this book

Attention; young and mature wise owls.5
The Illustrated Owl is an outstanding reference book in all aspects. The plates are clear and accurate; this is
a book that any wood carver should have in their library as well as wildlife artists and naturalists. I am not
aware of any other owl book that has the wealth of information that is presented in The Illustrated Owl. I
highly recommend this book for all public and private libraries.

Owl artist reference5
Phenominal reference for any artist, flat or sculptural! The comprehensive photo and sketch poses leave no feather or posture for the imagination to fill in. Shows measurements singley and in proportion to the other parts of the body, even each specific primary feather! An absolute must have reference for these two owls.
