This is an illustration of an Australian Wedge Tail Eagle, a really magnificent bird of prey!
My wildlife portraits are normally done within 2-3 days. I use a photo as a base that is often edited to adjust pose or expression, then I do an extensive paint over so what you see is 95% painting. The end result is a photorealistic animal portrait with the vivid colours, refined focal point, and dramatic lighting of an illustration. I try to capture the personality and beauty of each animal.
All my wild life illustrations are sold on a variety of awesome products from T-shirts to pillows, stickers and bags from my online shop.
