kinda looks metallic/plastic but still amazing.

those feathers look too chunky, the shadows under them are too heavy. they usually have a much softer gradient into the curve of another feather. they kinda look like they have a thickness to them here like scales?

and if while drawing stop at the 4 step that looks simply and add the details on the eye?

I like the chonky bois, it makes it nicely styled

i think it would on a simpler more stylised drawing, but the drawing is leaning heavily towards realism, but the feather rendering is heavily towards cartoonish. they work fine apart, but they are stylistically inconsistent when put together in one piece.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion hehe
I know heaps of people who like the semi-realist style, including myself
It's not like
An objective truth you know
Of course there's room for improvement as with all things but I don't think changing the style completely is the way to go

Yeah you are right, the feathers could be a little less chunky. Though I myself have always liked this style of drawing feathers, I'll try to make it smoother next time!

yeah, it would work fine as a style choice if the bird was more cartoonish? what's throwing it off is that theΒ proportions of the bird are very far towards being realistic, and the rendering of the feathers is inconsistent with it. if you exaggerated the feathers on a cartoony bird it would look fine, but with the realistic bird there's no reason to be exaggerating the thickness of the feathers so much, especially since they're probably about the same thickness as hair?
and yeah i bet this sort of style would look really nice on scales though! kinda makes me want to draw a chickeny dinosaur :'>

Um - I would simply call it "artistic style"; if we were talking about making highly realistic feathers I would agree with you. But if that's her style of drawing/painting, it fits for her.

stylisation isn't an excuse for technical failures.
even then, the drawing is more towards realistic but the rendering of the feathers is more cartoonish, so the stylisation is inconsistent and looks awkward.

True, stylisation isn't an excuse for technical failures, or lack of "underlying basics" (like when drawing humans and totally lacking anatomy knowledge, it usually shines through).
Yet I just saw that the artist herself commented on this (seems like around the same time I wrote my comment), so I'll just leave it with that

style should still reflect the real world. if the texture can't be read, then the style failed to convey it.

But... you can tell that they're feathers...

dudes, leave them alone, jeez
this is their style, realistic enough for you or not
let them be
amazing work btw!

I'm only saying that the criticism is completely valid. too many artists use style as an excuse to not improve.Β
You seem to take this personally when I really didn't mean it that way.Β

im not saying they cant improve, but maybe say it in a nicer way? anyways nvm, i know y'all didn't have bad intentions
