Description

The title means "Ravens", by the way. It's been a while since the last time I teased you with my mothertongue, hasn't it?
(For anyone who might be interested, it's pronounced like "corp" from the word corpse, but with Scottish-kinda-like R and "it" in the end. "Korpit" is plural, a single raven would be "korppi". Yay for random lecture of Finnish!)

I like this little picture. I've been staring it most of yesterday and today and I kinda wanted to scan it before I manage to do anything bad to it.

Birds are pretty hard to draw, their skeleton is like a theropod with huge arms, but all of it is hidden beneath the deceiving cover of feathers making it hard to keep track of where everything is. I have drawn lots of wings before, but the torso is the part that tricks the eye.
And there was no reference used on the deer what so ever, and now I feel ashamed of it. I've seen countless of carcasses and I don't even bother to think about them before I actually draw one. My brain keeps shouting me "Nooooo! The intercostal muscles should still be there when it's only that much eaten! Your doing it wrooooong!". Darn nitpicky brain.

Hmm, maybe I should put some color on it, something simple and monochromatic... Maybe...
