Required detail

I needed to detail the face of this eagle but attempted to do no more than absolutely necessary. Once that was done I spent some time on the background. Eventually I'll get to work on the feet and talons.

Spring is here in the Adirondack region. I could not resist setting up an easel on the porch to work in the sun. Working in my customary vertical position also helped me get the face drawn in. So far so good but where it will go from here is hard to say. I'm just going to feel my way through.
