Ink illustration of a lanner falcon.
Drawn using one of my own photographs as reference, I used mostly Sakura pigma micron marker pens and an Akashiya Sai ink brush pen for the darkest areas.
The lanner falcon is a medium sized bird of prey or raptor found mostly in open country and savanna in parts of Europe and more widely in Africa. They are bred in captivity for falconry and prey on mostly birds and bats. There is around 40 species of falcon today, they are know for flying at high speed and have thin tapered wings to enable this. Lanner falcons are usually a slate grey or brown in appearance with lighter feathers giving a mottled effect, they also have yellow feet and legs and yellow patches on the face around the beak and eyes.
