Just an exerpt from my sketch book. Done with a ballpoint pen from work. Like the style I'm shading the bird with, swirly doodles instead of appropriate shading techniques. Getting more and more into realism, just in case you didn't notice ;]
One night I just felt like sketching an animal, so I googled 'hawk' and chose the second choice in the images section. Thinking of doing a shark related one for the next. Or a person - my main inspiration is Gavade, an inspirational member in GFXartist.com. Check it outttt

You did that straight in ballpoint pen? I'm going to cry myself to sleep now.
The patterns of its feathers are done so well. You amaze me every time.

Your 'swirly' technique is perfect for the feathers (:
Just awesome, really

i can imagine seeing this drawing in a bird book...or an animal physiology book. :) they pay artists to draw diagrams and models.
