Hi,

I'm no guru that's for sure but thought I'd drop in and pass on the help I have received myself.

The birdies are looking good but maybe if you could add some stronger values to the characters and a perhaps add a background too, or atleast some color to make the paintings more finalized and easier on the eye.

thx for your advice! yea youre right about the backgrounds, the reason i didnt make one on this drawing is because its a school assignment to create characters. i'll try to make a background to tho

I like them but maybe think about varying the width of your brush strokes and think about the direction the strokes are going to make them compliment the shape you are making.
