Day 17 Barn Owl

Detailed black-and-white graphite drawing of a barn owl on a white page, with handwritten text near the upper right reading “BARN OWL DAY 17.” The owl faces mostly forward while its body angles slightly to the right. Its heart-shaped facial disk is carefully outlined and shaded, with large dark almond-shaped eyes, a narrow pointed beak, and subtle feather markings radiating outward around the face. The chest and body contain layered rows of small feather shapes and varied graphite strokes, while the folded wings show longer overlapping feathers with darker shading. One sturdy leg and foot are visible at the bottom, ending in strongly curved talons gripping an unseen or lightly indicated surface. The lower corner includes faint handwritten date markings, while the rest of the background remains plain white to emphasize the detailed bird study.
