I think I’ve been pretty up front about this before, but in case I haven’t: virtually every commissioned piece I take on that’s intended to be an exercise in realism involves a bunch of direct from photo studies as the first step. A lot of subjects I do illustrations of aren’t necessarily accessible in the flesh to do life studies of, especially in the middle of a pandemic with the pressure of day to day life bearing down on you. Every day, I’m thankful for photographers.
Once I’m comfortable with/understand my subject, I take artistic liberty and compose sketches using my own angles/poses. I haven’t quite gotten to that stage with golden eagles just yet, but here are some sketches from stock photos that caught my eye.
These are all in the sketchbook that I’ve designated for referenced sketches/studies only. I need to do pages of bird feet because that’s a big weakness of mine.

Cas with baby chicks based on this post by @floral-cas | also inspired by @casfangirl's tags 🐤🐓
(The artist would like to mention that they have 0 ideas how chickens work so this might be an unsave way to pick up and hold a hen; but they also thought that pose would be the funniest)
[Open for better quality!]
