Description
A gift for my good friend ~Nekomarunosuke of his sparrow character, Kureha. It's also another piece for my 10 Anthro Challenge. Yep, my very first avian anthro!
I asked the creator ahead of time if I could interpret her bird anatomy my own way, and he said yes. So here's how I choose to depict bird anthros.I used *robertsloan2 's How to Draw a Bird's Wing tutorial to help with the wings. I still have a long way to go with both wings and feathers, but this is my best attempt yet! Kureha is a sparrow, so I figured her wings would be pretty small. I doubt she'd fly too well but I imagine she'd jump and glide way better than other creatures for having them.
This thing took so long to ink. T__T I think this is my most time-consuming piece so far. Even coloring took way longer than usual. I suck at water and rocks, but I like the cherry blossoms. Definitely won't be trying that texture on rocks again!
They look like dead rhinos! I took on so many challenging and unfamiliar things in this one. 
Guess I couldn't expect it all to come out perfectly.Sakura Pigma Microns, Staedtler Triplus Fineliners, Col-Erase colored pencils (sketching only), Prismacolor markers.

I think the water is just fine.
Yah, feathers can be the most time consuming thing around. It is frustrating for me. Hey, it is nice to see you try it in your own style. Great job!

That's one mean-looking sparrow! I like how you did the feathers. Bird anthros are hard because their arms are wings: I like how you handled that as a lot of people give them wings and arms or just arms and no wings. The background is nice too, especially the blossoms.

It never fails to amaze me how much detail you put into things, like the feathers and even the BG flowers. It comes off really well. Only thing I might add though is the fist seems off for some reason I cant place ><;
And again, awesome colors!

You know, you're quite right on that! And avians have really big claws! And sharp! And no problem. *smiles*

Yes, the thing I love most about thiss piece, are defenetly the cherry blossoms! They look so cool!
And seeing a bird anthro in your style is really interesting, as well.^^ the feathers looks really cool, but the connection between the arms and the feathers looks a bit weird... I personally wouldn't have drawn a line between the end of the rm, and the beginning of the feathers. it looks a like they would vanish behind the arm.^^
But if you would let the arm float into the wings a little, it would look a little more realistic.^^ ( Okey, again, it#s very hard to explain, what I mean...
But apart from that, it's a wonderful piece! Well done!
