While I think it's quite clever to make the bird follow the shape of the stone in the background I think it emphasizes the stone too much. I want the bird to be the main focus — which it still is — but the stone demands too much attention.
Another concern I have is the shape of the branch the bird is standing on. The end is sharp which I find a bit odd, but the branch is also so thin that it doesn't prominently overlap the strawberry plant. From a distance it almost looks like part of the plant overlaps the branch.
The bird itself looks brilliant though. I like the cartoon style. In fact I'm not even sure it needs the details in the feathers on the back.
hey, I appreciate all the comments you gave me, I genuinely do
No reason to feel weak as an artist, by the way. We both have plenty to improve on but I think that's part of the fun. I can't imagine one can reach a point where progress is no longer possible (apart from decline in health) but I would feel pretty awful if progress would stagnate. I'm glad that even when I look back at my work from a year ago I often feel I've improved a lot.
it may be in part because I hardly forget a number (I have a scary memory for them, for a reason. I even remember phone numbers of childhood friends) thus quite often avoid looking at them.
oh, definitively
thanks again! and sorry for the very belated replies.
