Welcome Redolance! These are interesting drawings, especially the birds. What species are they? The dark on the wings makes me tempted to say American Goldfinch for the second.

Looks like a Blackburnian Warbler and a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Thanks for posting R - that tiger would make a good tattoo!

Blackburnian named after a lady from a village near me, Hale, the Highland Blackburne family owned the old estate hall and she was a keen and well travelled naturalist who collected and named the type specimen
nice pen work too...

She's well served by the bird. Among all the beautiful American wood warblers the Blackburnian may well be the most striking! I should have noticed from the large white wing bars that this is what it is. I saw my last one a few months ago, just 15 second glimpse before it headed further north. They are always a real thrill to see!

Lovely
I'm kind of new at painting. I have been doing it for about 4 months now. This is done with a thin consistency and optimum consistency of acrylic paint, thin meaning diluted with water optimum meaning no mixing or letting thicken by sitting the paint out. thick consistency would be to let your paint sit out to in the air to thicken. =)

there's promise in this one alright- really nice swirling shaped breastband and nothing flat or straight

i love it Redo.
Just take your time with it. Water down the acrylic to get the subtle washes. It can be used like gouache or water colour. Mix your media also. No rules. Except to break them!
Great that you are getting feedback here! See you on page 19!

Very strong image and I like the selection of colour and he expressive way you've applied it. But best of all - no doubt - is the way you've rendered the feet; real clawy, grippy, stand-uppy feet which is probably the most difficult aspect of the work. Top-notch.
