Welcome to Gaia! ::

Did this one a while ago I admit. However, I was thinking about creating another bird picture (maybe a parakeet or an owl.) so I wanted to get your opinions on this old picture.

It was done with open canvas 1.1

I know the tail isn't that good. I sort of ran out of steam when I was trying to create the light effects on it. Ah well. XP

Not digging the composition, it coud've been more intestesting with a different pose and more forshortning or something. Centering=BAD

Also, as much as I love loose and freeness, the background pushes it. It's way too smudgy and haphazzard. If you want to be loose and free, you have to make it seem like it was meant that way, not like you accidently left a big open background until the end and filled it in randomly because you wanted to finish the piece.

well i probably would or used more oranges and yellows for the the edges and sort of to have an effect of fire and stuff, maybe also use it on other materials sort of to show that the light is reflecting on the other materials, then i might have used more darker hues to show contrast so that light and fire has a greater effect
