I think you did a great job on the flamingo. You might see it as a bad thing that your chalking is influencing that way you paint in Photoshop, but I think it adds a little something extra! I actually really like the splotchiness, it gives it a lot of texture! And you know how I love texture. XD Now that I really think about it, it does actually look like you did this with pastels or something. I think its wonderful. As far as critique goes, I think you could have gone a little darker in the shadow area that goes across the birds back. I kinda went too light as well. Still, you did great on this!

Also, nice flamingo army you got there! ;D

Nice job with the colours especially, I think you got the shades very close. I was gonna say the first thing that struck me is it looks like the style of your pastel drawings, then I see you mentioned it . it's actually quite a nice effect . I think the main things you missed painting wise were that on the side of the flamingo there's some important shadows and reflected light that give it's form the roundness, on the wing area mainly, I think you missed them out which makes them look a little flat. You got them good on the neck and head though. The body is a bit off like you said, but I think that's because you're probably not in "drawing" mode at the start of the painting. I'm treating them more like portraits and spending 15 minutes or so drawing in the structure before I even touch the paintbrush. I like how your pastel technique transferred over though lol.

I really love the structure on the neck.
Gives it a loose traditional feeling that i really like.
