Beautiful drawing! The way you've done the linework makes it look so light and fluffy

It's so lovely. The paper color was the right choice hands down. You manage to put that unreadable intelligent glance that most birds have into the picture. It can be hard to do since it could be just one stroke of the pencil that makes the difference. Love it.

Yeah, this is pretty awesome. I just got done with a bird painting, actually, so I guess it's a bit familiar. I really like the strokes of white. They give it alot of depth.

YAY!

dude seriously - I am still bleary eyed - hours after I first read this - ....I can't tell you how enormously important your positive energy is - to me and for the dA community.
Thank you for reminding me that kindness still lurks in the dA community - they're just not as loud as the meanies

Have you tried pastels? It's a dirtier work to do, but they mix better..

AshleighPopplewell In reply to Miriam1989 [2007-09-08 01:01:55 +0000 UTC]
I'm not big on pastels...it seems like no matter how much fixative you use, it always rubs off
I actually do pastels in phases. I've just been more into a colored pencil phase lately

Exactly! I hate that I have to redraw my paintings.. Now I was making a present but after a week it became not that bright, pastels rubbed off.. So I've been thinking about buying a frame first, then fixing it

Simple yet effective - you really bring out the delicacy of the bird. Nice texture on the feathers, too!

I'm afraid not yet - everytime I think we're in the clear something breaks (and for the most part it's that damn craptastic PT Cruiser). I'm sorry I've been incognito - I still love that painting - and will still happily buy it.
I was going to ask my mom to throw some moolah into the pot so I could get it for D's birthday LOL!

thank you sweetie - I am so frustrated with that stupid car - the first serious problem we had with it actually prevented me from meeting `suzi9mm and `superkev when she came to Toronto to visit depressing stuff really. I was looking forward to it.
do you have a rough estimate on how much the painting weighs?

AshleighPopplewell In reply to oibyrd [2007-08-24 21:16:32 +0000 UTC]
IT's allright. I totally understand that things don't always work out how you planned them. I'll hang onto the painting until you can send the money, no problems
