Wise – Illustration Friday *
Wise Owl | Digital vector using Calligraphy brush
I have been missing Illo Friday‘s challenge for 3 weeks already! I am taking up the challenge for last week (this week’s one will be up tomorrow). The challenge is to illustrate ‘Wise’. This illustration is based on my Owl ATC that is safe in the arms on Zarifi‘s mother in Lebanon.
Remember the wise old owl nursery rhyme/poem?
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird?
