Ho-oh

Description

CRITIQUE ENCOURAGED (but not necessary, all comments make a happy Hannah for the day C:<)

Well, here it is - the painting that I mentioned in my journal and have put off submitting because I keep wanting to go back and change it. I've forced myself to put it to bed for the time being, however, although I may make changes as people suggest them.

My first attempt at a realistic painting of... well, anything (never mind the fact that HELLO IT'S A HO-OH) without lifting any colours from another source. Trying to improve my knowledge and application of colour, as well as attention to detail.

Only reference for the sketch was a quick look at some vulture beaks, still wanted to try and keep a similar shape to official art of Ho-oh, though. Think I could've done better there. Feathers at the back and the crest (ohmygod the crest) were a pain to do.

I'll refrain from giving my personal opinion (asking my opinion of my work is the equivalent of giving me a sledgehammer and allowing me to bludgeon myself with it).

No idea how long this took - a large proportion of time was spent undoing and redoing tiny details towards the end. Damnit, I need to stop drawing birdy-type things.

Any questions, please ask.

Messages etc. will be replied to eventually, currently easing myself back into the swing of things. Thanks for the support!

This looks amazingly realistic.
