Description Hello!
It's been a while since I submitted my last painting here, and I'm sorry for that (I don't know if some people even noticed it ahah but yeah :'D).
I am overwhelmed by work, and I think it will be the case for the whole year (perhaps it'll even getting worst and worst...). This is only my third drawing of 2017 and I don't think that I'll be very productive this year :/
So I think I'm just gonna upload some new drawings here randomly, from time to time. 
I know I may have missed some of your drawings and I may not have replied to every comments/notes/critiques. I'm going to reply to most of my notifications soon, and it's impossible for me to comment on every paintings at the moment (but please know that I watch every paintings on my watch feed).
I'm sorry for not being as active than before, I just do my best but I do not have as much time as before.

Anywayyyy... This is a drawing of a budgie, as suggested by The-Wandering-Bird . I wanted to draw something for her to thank her for her wonderful bird figurine (btw go and check her gallery for lovely bird figurines, she is so talented!!♥)
I hope that you'll like it, I'm sorry that I took so long to do it but yeah

Hope you like it, feel free to leave comments or critiques, I promise I will reply to all of them, even if late! ^^

At first, composition - this pretty parrot is definitely looking at something, but here is too little space in front of her head - she is closed in this composition like bird in cage e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/> If she will be painted near the right edge of paper, and a little bit lower, the painting would look better, even if you will cut her tail then.

Secondly, there is something wrong with her beak. I like the shadows on her head, the black background is also very nice (interesting facture with the blue and green points), but the contrast between this green grass (?) and dark background is too hard, seems like you can't decide what kind of background give here. These blue flowers are also unnecassarily distracting - maybe if they will be paler it will be better?
But generally this painting is nice, I like it e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

This deviation is the best I've critiqued and compared to a lot of the deviations with critique enabled it's very well done. This bird is elegant and beautiful. I love the paint that was used to make it and the way it's painted. The colors are great the style is great everything is perfect about this painting. It looks like a well done expensive painting. Parakeets are magnificent pretty birds. Really I can't see a single thing wrong the painting, it's perfect. I'd say if you painted these birds all the time I'd be happy to add them to one of my collections. 5/5 stars! perfect deviation, keep up the good work!

Wow such a pretty bird. Fluffy budgie pretty bird. Really think that the bird is a good bird and a pretty bird. Wow, such feathers on the bird. Does the bird have the ability to talk? Wild birdo in the wild, a pretty bird indeed. Pretty bird around the flowers, pretty enough to make all other birdos fall in love. In all seriousness I really like this pretty bird. It's very hard to paint but you've done it with very little imperfections. The only thing I see that looks weird is the pretty bird's face, other then that wow pretty bird.

He's so beautiful! I love the matching flowers, and how well the bird and flowers "pop" in front of the dark background. There are so many layers of cool blues, greens, and grays. It's a very calming picture.

How pretty! I love those bright blues! This is actually my favorite color of parakeet. Funny thing is, my mom and dad both had parakeets this color as kids, long before they ever met each other. I believe my mom's was named Pretty Boy and my dad's was named Butchie, and Butchie used to be able to say his own name.

He's so cute I had a blue budgie when I was a child hehe. The first thing that caught my eye was the incredible shadow and detail work you did on the wing and the head! Oh and I see you are going for more detailed backgrounds too now
Very nice

I think your backgrounds look good! And it's nice to see how you're getting better and better at them.
Yes he was a cute bird. He got really old though and he was a really cranky old guy in the end He was often fluffy and ruffled to look at, so he was named "Ruffle" (or the danish equivalent of ruffle)
