    Default Seagull

    A mate asked me recently to draw a seagull from his pencil drawing. I reproduced it with some strokes & colour to add depth. He further asked me to make the bird look more evil which I did (not my work, I googled "Evil Eye") and added a toxic discharge.

    Think the shape looks more duck like than seagull like and the legs could be improved but I didn't want to wander off his original pencil sketch to much.

    That's not the evil eye, Egg, that's the stink eye. Nice work.

    Hi Egg

    I liked how you made him fiercer by arching his feet.

    I would say that's one mean looking seagull, Egg.

    Nice job on the color and shading, too.
    I was sunbathing on the beach many moons ago, and a gull did a fly-by and dropped a toxic load right on my thigh. It felt like someone had thrown a rock really hard!

    Looks as thought it's been eating radio active material.
    Nice gull, though, Egg.

    Thanks for the comments. Don't usually do cartoon like drawings. It was fun.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
