Bonus process video for #ArtAdventCalendar because in a world of increasing fakery I know sometimes it’s nice to see how things come together…

I’ve actually donated a bird illustration commission to #Creatives4Sudan charity auction so if you want me to draw your fave bird bid here and you’ll get a print too!

Text says, Bid to have me illustrate your favourite bird! Receive a print of it too! Images show an original illustration by loadofolbobbins of a Barn Owl in flight. The perspective is as if you were looking up underneath the owl as it’s swooping with claws beneath it to catch pray. It’s wings are together behind it caught in the upward flapping motion. The colouring of the owl is a combination of creams and browns with dark speckled markings across the body, underwing and head. The head of the owl is a slightly richer, almost orange brown. One big black eye can be seen looking beyond it’s claws, intensely focused and there’s a trail of brownish feather beneath it which look almost like a stripe that leads to the small pointed yellow beak. The background is inky wash in dark blue. Underneath this is an image of a hand drawing with an apple pencil on an ipad a sketchy illustration of a bird. Creatives for Sudan.

1. It's been A Year, hasn't it? Maybe this time we should start with something delightful and calming. In that spirit, here's Max Bruch's lovely lullaby, 'Wiegenlied der Hirten', cradle-song of the shepherds, as sung incredibly sweetly by the Gächinger Kantorei.
