The two images of non human subjects focus on firstly, accurately depicting a birds likeness, feathers, beak etc, and secondly, focus more on the skeletal aspects of an animal, including the jaw structure, teeth and general bone composition. The parrot image has very accurate depiction of the way the feathers flow and curve around the skull, and the artist has used the pencil well in dealing with the tufts of feathers at the top of the beak and underneath the patch of eye feathers. The tonal depth of the lower beak is well exhibited using pencil strokes and shading. The detail of the eye is a focal point to the picture, and captures the personality of a parrot well.
This large skull of a bear captures the essence of such a ferocious, wild creature, particularly with the sharp teeth still kept intact. Using pencil the artist has highlighted these as a focal point, whilst also adding detail to the small cracks and smaller teeth on display. There is good depth to the eye and nose sockets, though the artist could have used more curved shading to give the picture an extra dimension. The image is well balanced, though the white space in the mouth could have been utilised better.
