Owl Tea

© Chromeheart Illustration
Have you ever drank tea out of a very confused looking owl?  Bed Bath and Beyond sells these quirky owl mugs in four different colors.  When I saw them, I just had to get one of each, sort of as a housewarming gift to myself.  Sketch done with a Pilot Metropolitan (Medium nib) loaded with Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Bordeaux.  It's an expressive, high quality (but unfortunately very un-waterproof) ink made in Germany.  Alt-Bordeaux translates literally to "old Bordeaux" but I personally haven't tried drawing with aged wine to compare the color.  If you do, let me know how it works out.
