reference photo from dario taraborelli on inaturalist, thanks to them for making their photos cc0 :)
constructive criticism appreciated!
i had trouble with the beak again :/ still happy how it turned out tho!

@peculiar-exister thank you for the tips and critique, i'll def keep those in mind next time! i was a bit disappointed w/ how the colors turned out, but at least now i know to have the ref on the same monitor i'm drawing on :)
sorry for even thinking about holding a pencil
