I wanted to paint the pencil study I made the day before yesterday. Since I drew in a sketchbook whose paper wouldn’t have tolerated to be wetted, I had to scan it before printing it on a watercolour paper. The feathers are inspired by the lanner falcon (Falco biarmicus) ones whose biotope and way of living are propbably very close to those of Velociraptor.
