Artist's Comments

I did this piece months ago as my final/personal project in a color pencil workshop with Anne Flood. I used a photo reference.
I think there was a reason for not uploading this before. I can't remember what it is (or was) so... here we go. o.O

I think we ran out of time on the background. That's my excuse anyway. =3

EDIT: Sorry about the gigantic-ness. You don't have to full view. ^^;

Oh wow... I love birds of prety.

you did such a great job on the feathers on here.
From experience = feathers are a pain to draw but gorgeous after coloring.

Birds of prey? Heh. =3

I really appreciate your comments. They're really encouraging, and they provide good feedback.
As for the feathers... they are a pain. I've never done a study of them, so I can't draw feathers in detail. I think the ones on this bird look very much like matted fur. But since you brought feathers to my attention, I might try something in the next picture that involves detailed wings. Or... something. Nyaa!

lol I caught that right when I clicked submit. I didn't wanna resend, lol.

Dont worry about the commenting, i like to critique.

I'd try to help but I'm more of an anime artist, so my wings are like solid blocks lol [link] like that. Fatty fat wings lol

Ive done some work off a picture of a bird with pen. That's pretty cool, you should try it.
Mine are too large to post on DA though.

So give it a try, feathers are really worth the time and effort

Wings in anime are pretty cool, the different ways they can be stylized. But you're right, it wouldn't really fit with realism.

And I'll make a point of doing something birdy-like in the next week.
But couldn't you shrink the pen drawings for DA?

Thanks again! xD

Well... they dont fit in my scanner.

If I could show you, I'd really encourage you to do it. Since you have so much careful detail as shown in this piece. I think you'd do very well
