Description
This sucks, because my camera died, and my phone can't capture detail or lighting well. Blah.Anyways, I like crows a lot, so I painted one in watercolors.
I used [link] for reference.

Beautiful drawing! I love crows, they are really pretty and smart birds!
(though a lot of people around here hate them because they canΒ΄t "sing"- which I find pretty ridiculous, humans can also be noisy!)

Is this painted on a canvas or just watercolors? It is absolutely FANTASTIC. The realism is impecable. What a stunning creature

This is a superb painting! I love the effect of hte background too - is that paint flecks that you have spattered from the end of the brush?

HOW DID I NEVER SEE THIS? OMG THIS IS FRIGGING AMAZING AL! And this is done with watercolors? I could never tell. It looked so much like charcoal. Woah, it's so clean and well done. Kudos, Fernie!

Hello fearandfire. Good job with the shading here.
Cheers.

Ffft, this is definitely one of my favourite drawings. You just captured the black-but-shinyness of it's feathers perfectly (do I spot some slight hints of purple there?), as well as that beady little eye with its awesome reflection.

I'm pretty happy with this one, too.

Then my eyes must be playing tricks on me! Or it's the lighting. But it's very cool nonetheless.
Don't be lazy Al. Not with the art. *glaaare*

I actually have tons of assignments for Art History I'd like to do... we can actually make some stuff for that class! So exciting!!!

Ooh that is exciting!!
I wish my school work required art - then I will have an excuse to draw more often. XD

It's more trying specific styles, like cubism and effing crap like abstract expressionism. Not that fun if you like objective stuff. It's not required, either... and I might not even get the extra credit point for it, since I'm not an art major.

Cubism. Abstract expressionism. Eeew. 
It sucks that you may not get the extra credit though - art major or not, you still did the work. But it's not how it works... sigh

Corvids... You gotto love em.. or they be stealin your goodies..
Your perspective improved a great deal.. leave alone your colouring.. Shades of black and nice touch of grey.. you see every detail while you can easily see the differences, layers and 3 dimensions.. only the head and the neck makes you remember and makes it a 2d graphic work... try to catch the same volume with the neck also its very important. Left leg has the same problem but its small detail and hardly ever gives such feeling and in itself its form is quite good that no one will really notice I guess.. It might have been a tad larger.. small small a bit..
well done me says

Thanks, Civ! And thanks for the cit.
The neck really does look better in real life

I'll never be able to see crows in the same light since Game of Thrones.. xD
You should definitely consider drawing more, perhaps simpler, less detailed doodles to get people's attention with? You can have them help you decide which one to invest more time into.

Okay...
Why? Are you saying you don't like this one? Dude, I draw for myself. I love crows - they're my favorite animals, just about. If you or anyone else had told me to quit this one, I'd have laughed at you and stayed the course, to use a Bushism.
I don't draw because I want to be popular. If I started drawing something "less detailed", I'd probably just end up making it detailed anyways. I'm a perfectionist - I don't halfass stuff.

Oh whoa Fearnando, this has to be one of my favourites of yours! That black is just so velvety and shiny, and the way the light shines off the feathers, and the way the whole thing looks just so 3D, and the splashy corner things and just EVERYTHING, so pretty!

I GOT A COMMENT!!! YAAAAY!!! 
π: 0 β©: 1
YES FEARNANDO OF COURSE YOU GOT A COMMENT
What? Not enjoying drawing much? Shame on you Fearnando, shame on you. Black is an awesome colour (or as my dear art teacher would say, shade, not colour >_> ) It goes with everything.

YAAAAY!!!
Yeah... It's partly because my mother is always around.
I wear black a lot.
