Description
A Scarlett Macaw sitting on a branch.
I know the background is horrible, it is from about 6 months ago and I put it there for tempory use until I start working on the actual one.

I didn't actually use a photo reference at first, I actually did it from my head (handed way too many of these guys in the past) but then when I found it tricky I used it, and realised I went sorta wrong on the feathers.
(I have randomly put green ones in there)
I used several photos (taken my myself) to get it right.

Anyways, my first attempt at a realistic drawing!
Critiques/comments are highly appreciated.
