I love this so much, thank you! <3

No problem, glad you like it!

I approve of product and/or services of bird.

Also this is a pretty great hawk!

Hehe thanks!

beautiful artwork!! great understanding of 3d space and dimension~

I think it's the shading that makes or breaks my stuff!

it's honestly very intelligent shading!! as someone who struggles with lighting and flat 2d art. great job!! c:

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I struggle with perspective the most, for that I actually tend to use AI to give me a reference to work from (although at times that can be a struggle for it to get something even close to what I want to begin with and at some points I've ended up making collages to try and make the right sense of perception), I just tweak my version until it looks right (heck of a lot of ctrl + z when doing my outlining to begin!)
I know AI art is understandably controversial but oddly where "how to draw" things have failed for me, AI has taught me... I'm still not at the point of drawing without a reference but I feel I'm getting close!

humans are ai when you think about it!! I feel you. chatgpt is a great tool for many things. I use it to get feedback on how to improve my art!! it's very dynamic. I'm also horrible at perspective but having personal assistance for tips really helps c:

Marvelous work!!

Thanks!
