Description I felt like painting an albino Noctowl, deal with it.

It started out as a Monochromatic Blue theme, but when i added the lighting effects it messed it up, so you have some Cyan in there too, but other than that, it's all Blue colours.

I've been calling it "Alternative Shiny Noctowl" because normal shiny is just a gold-ish colour, and I'd like to think that many Shiny Pokemon are actually pure white.
I'd want this Noctowl

In other news, i'm really enjoying drawing a crap load of Pokemon lately

Anyway enjoy and please critique

This here, is a very wonderful piece. Its beauty covers up its flaws, and the glow of Noctowl is a very unique focal point.

It's very important to stress what is wrong though.
You're a really great artist, but your problem is your proportions. Noctowl's legs are too long, wings too large, ect.... And his neck is twisty. But this can be easily fixed, I'm sure, with your great talent.

The tree's base is too thick, if you make it thinner it will be phenomenal. Although, the branch is perfect! I really like the branch itself. It's natural, flowing.... Not too straight, not too boring. Very nice, if I do say so.

So, aside from proportions, this picture is great! I love Noctowl's stare, and the branches can't stop intriguing me.

This is a wonderful, balanced picture that's flaws can be fixed in a jiffy and deserves much more attention.

I hope you take my advice and practice on your anatomy! It will really help you out a lot.

Don't forget, referencing isn't tracing! Just look up some pictures of what you wanna draw. As long as there is no overlapping involved, and you don't copy the whole picture, you're good to go! Keep drawing!

I hope to see more of your art, and critique it as well. ^^

Cheers!

It almost looks like a mythical Pokemon. The humble Noctowl...
