So this parrot was kind of tricky to work on because of all his bright colors. Color is one of those things that I have long struggled with in art and you can see some of that on this blog. When I started posting daily I only did black and white, finally I bit the bullet and started doing things in color with mixed results. But in the last three months I know that I have improved by leaps and bounds as far as color goes and this parrot is proof of that. none of the colors get muddy or look out of place there's reflected color that influences other colors and so on. For 30 minutes I think he turned out really good.

Whooooo Mass Effect fanart! So I got a request from a guy on Deviant art to draw MaleShep and Liara being all romantic. My response was more or less "meh sure why not.". So because it was a request I kind of get to do whatever I want, so I'm trying out my new technique on this one in addition to getting some practice with body language, hands and feet all things that I need to work on. In addition to getting to work on what I want to work on I also get to decide what is meant by "romantic". I decide to draw something most couples do, cuddle and watch a movie.
