Parakeet

Thanks for asking me to make a critique on your Drawing, first of all the anathomy is very well done, the efectos on the feathers are well handled specially the Black areas. These would be My recomendations: Define where the ligth come from, on head it seem it come from its left side but looking at its chest it Seems to be on the other way. Eyes are very mportant, i recomend to use High contrast, since it barely can be seen on him, for getting High contrast i use markers in eyes eventhou i would be Drawing with pens or colors. Try to apply more color (yellow/blue) on the area that is farest to the ligth, your colors are so transparent, more opacity on color Gives life and depth. Beak need more contrast as well, remember that is a diferent texture from feathers, specially on nose holes it needs opacity and contrast. I think beak needs some white where the light come from (on its top side) I usually color from lightest to darkest color, but, white at the end to magnify brightness Try to use brown on dark sudes of the yellow area and Black on the blue area. I hope this comment May help on your work, im open for any comment you have. Thanks again for the oportunity to talk about your work
