Snowy Owl

I had never seen

one of these owls

before. This

one lives in the

Anchorage zoo.

I love drawing

with pencil. It

is such a simple

medium, and the

first type of art

I ever learned to do.

They make all

different kinds of drawing pencils. The lead is either soft or hard,

and they are numbered according to their hardness. A 6B pencil

is really soft and black, and a 4H is really hard. Those are the two

that I used in this drawing. The 6B pencil is one that is woodless:

it is solid lead with a black plastic coating on the outside. I love

these pencils; they make the most elegant darks. I will be doing

some more pencil drawings in the next few days.
