Description aaaaannnnnnd I finished that sketchy-bird-thing I posted a while back: ssbbforeva.deviantart.com/art/…

..........I'm actually decently happy with something I made. the world will probably implode within the hour if I don't find little mistakes... hmm, well, the wing doesn't have enough shading to show depth, the darker metal joints don't look quite right, and it turned out far more "modern" looking than I intended. oh, and I couldn't figure out a background, which is REALLY PISSING ME OFF NOW.
there, crisis averted.

at first I anted to make the feathers a metalic blue, to continue with the cooler color scheme, but after I did the first feather blue, I realized that it just looked so dull. luckily I shaded really lightly so it erased pretty well, and I'm much happier with the dull gold, adding a bit of warmth and contrast to the silver. it also, in my opinion, makes the eye stand bit more.

Nice bird! Looks a bit like loftwings and it's a bit cute.
You can do a standing pose or someone riding that badass bird.

thanks so much!
the feathers were really fun to do and a lot easier than they look. you just take a super sharp pencil and make lots of little lines.

I also noticed that the tail doesn't look angled correctly.

But I loved the metallic feel you'e attempted to show

actually, those were the easiest parts. XD you just make lots of little lines and keep your hand loose, kind of like shading hair.
