The Ravensby =star-blazer

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

^{I'm very sorry about the poor quality of this photograph... the original image is too big for my scanner, and it's really a shame at how it turned out. The picture looks so much better in real life...
Anyway, this is my completed version of the raven drawing I was working on for art homework. The picture in real life is much brighter than it appears in this image, and I just feel that the photograph really took away from the picture...
This took at total of about 4 hours to work on... which I actually find quite fast
I will be turning this in for my next art homework when I return to school on Tuesday, so at least it was worth working on^^ All and all, I really like how it turned out^^

I love the whole composition of the birds in this one.

I really love how you did the sky here. It's well blended and the colors are really beautiful. The gradient also looks very nice.

Very nice contrast in the feather textures as well. There are some really nice defined parts.
However, I feel like a bit more details(indications that suggest vanes of the feathers, feather shadows) would really polish the ravens.

The anatomy is pretty good, however, the neck on the foreground raven looks a tad slim where it connects to the back. The head though, is impressive and realistic looking.

I very much like the other ravens. The positions look really nice.
Perhaps backlighting them with the reflecting sunlight colors would add a bit more pop.

Overall, wonderful job. Although a scan would have been awesome, I know it didn't fit.
Wonderful work, you can definitely see the effort here.
Congratulations on winning #ProjectComment's commenting contest. I hope you don't mind this as the piece that the first part of your prize is based on.

Have a lovely day!
