These are three seperate days from last week, but I thought I'd post them together so you can see the progression (hopefully) ;P

heh ^^ they are pretty sweet. I like the way you made the last two. They really got there own kind of life.

Thankyou! The last two definitely benefitted from looking at real live birds :)

I love all three panels, your birds have personalities of their own. The second one has a great cartoony look - I especially love the crow in the upper left corner, you got the raven-ness perfectly with that beak

Glee! Thankyou!

The one in the last panel was a carrion crow - at least, it didn't have the jackdaw's light eyes and grey patch and it wasn't big enough to be a rook (I am in Europe, yes! The uk :) ).

Now, that IS interesting - I shall have to tell my mother, she's the doodler responsible; she had a quick go after I talked to her about not being able to get it right (and angling to borrow one of her bird books) - I love the red beak! Also, the Blackbird is one of my favourites. :)

Thankyou for those scans. Very useful. Cheers! :D

Cheers! I'm feeling that one works the best so far :)
