Oooh - what yer moved 'em for?
Actually, I think just the slightest tweak to the right-hand bird (as it was! ) and you've got another cracker here, Ed. What I'd propose is to have that (r-h bird) have its head coming back against the movement of its body - in other words, facing front right, picking a morsel from that area of the painting.
And - regarding 'detail - broadbrush' - I'm taking the huge liberty of posting this by John Threlfall (I still don't know how he does it, but your work has many of the qualities I admire in his).
For the un-initiated, John's site is: http://www.johnthrelfall.co.uk
Alrighty- they will be reinstated with a twist. I do admire Threlfall's work, although if you get the book, brace yourself for the poetry.
Meantimes in case of interest here's a pencil of a favourite beast from July. My knowledge of antelope anatomy pretty much stops at leg on each corner and horns on top, so I have forgiven myself for use of a reference photo of the beast once the background was done.
Wait, let me correct myself, I think it's a Nyala now. It looks regardless of what species it is!
