This creature, so prevalent in culture and mythology, has a monopoly on being a 'black bird'. The crow can be a dream exercise for those who love to push the design and stylization of an animal to its limits. A mere blob, and beak, cast in shadow.

And yet, this bird has more gems to offer us artists, wish such a recognizable silhouette.

Don't just feel satisfied with the splurge of black? Get intimate with that anatomy, yo. Make those crows so crow they don't need no colour to glow pure 'crow', ya know?
