This Buffy Fish Owl was drawn from an open source reference photo. I wanted to try this owl in colored pencil. He looks so comfortable, resting on the end of that branch. But, just because he’s resting doesn’t mean he can’t swoop over the water for a fish at any second he chooses.
These interesting owls live in southeast Asia. They make more noise than most owls in flight, so their mode of fishing is to wait on low branches and catch their prey close to the surface or by wading in shallow water.
