love it - the colors are amazing, but I think you could have added some shadow areas - it can help enhance the realism (but you already know that )

Thank you so much!! I noticed the absence of that rounded look for the bird. But only after drawing and setting the video camera aside.  So i was very lazy to set the camera again and draw! I have already completed the birds series now (total 4 drawings) but is scheduled 1 every week. So you can expect a little more realism in the next one ( which is also not that good IMO ), but I am satisfied with the 3rd and 4 th one.  

Btw i have completed 3 series already (4 drawings each) and working on 4th series! My vacation is going to be over. so i cant draw then. so i drew one or two daily and scheduled it on youtube
