How to use this prompt

The eyes are the subject. A great horned owl's forward-facing eyes with concentric rings are its most distinctive feature — name them so the model renders them. The ear tufts raised give the bird its alert posture; folded tufts would read as a different species. Fine crosshatching for the feathers gives the piece texture without shading; solid black areas would make it a silhouette, not a line drawing. The branch's bark textured with parallel lines gives the owl a perch without competing with the bird. Keep the background white and empty; any wash or texture would break the line-art style.

Variations to try

  • A flying version with the wings spread and the talons extended
  • A close-up of just the head and eyes
