Bald Eagle - Ballpoint Pen

The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus Greek hali = salt, aeetus = eagle, leuco = white, cephalis = head) is a bird of prey found in North America. It is the national bird of the United States of America and appears on its Seal. This sea eagle has two known sub-species and forms a species pair with the White-tailed Eagle. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.

Reference: My family member's photo

Lost about 25% quality during scanning, the smaller the drawing the more quality it loses.

Took aprox. 8 hours to finish. Just another quick doodle. Or call it a study or sketch. My first eagle head ever.

Size: 14,5cm x 11cm or 5,7" x 4,4"

Curious fact: I chronographed myself making between 3 and 5 lines per second, so over a period of 8 hours the drawing will be approximately, on average, made out of between 86400 and 144000 lines.

Feel free to comment and ask any questions.

Thank you.
