Northern Saw-Whet Owl

A winter migrant in southern Ontario, the Northern Saw-Whet is a very small owl, and feeds mainly on mice and voles. They roost in pines and thick bush during the day, and hunt in fields at night. 

This was done with watercolour

a multi-layered panning background

Our main layout project in the fall term was to create a multi-layered panning background of our choice. I made one that would match my action analysis for DQ's animation class. 

I chose something I was comfortable doing, and planned each step out, saving many times along the way. I drew inspirations mainly from Bambi and Over The Garden wall layouts and backgrounds and my own experiences in the woods. 

This was one of my favourite projects so far! I think it turned out alright, I would change somethings, but nothing major. Probably play with colour and lighting more.
