Last post I introduced this month's Patreon theme: Owls!
I got some great drawing suggestions, and I will try my best to get to all of them :D
Here is a melanistic barn owl <3 The coloration is caused by an increase in melanin, which gives the owl a darker pigment. Unlike albino animals, melanistic animals are actually most commonly fitter to survive in their environments due to increased camouflage.
