Good job

MemberCompsognathusFeb-27-2014 10:06 PMNow before I give you the advice, just know I love this piece, and think its great.
Now, first, PRACTICE. I cannot stress this enough, practice is the most important component to any great drawing. If you practice enough, youll eventually adapt your own style, and make it your own, but also classic and detailed in your own right. For example, my style is on dinos is very spiky and showy or scarred (kind of a more disturbing style of animals) , as for scenes, I like actiony, thriller, tense, or creepy scenes. Youll get your own themes and styles thatll make it unique, but be classic and very high quality as well. Practice!
Now as for the pieces themselves. Eyes make an entire picture. These eyes are intelligent, as you have made them. Now, make them more detailed and bright, as if your looking into the eyes of an intelligent predator. Look to crocodile eyes for inspiration.
Now for teeth and head shape, look at skulls. Study teeth to skull size and teeth shape. You seem to have the most issue in that area. I sometime run into problems there too. Then study head shape. Simple as that.
As for feathers, most should be downy with the occassional true feathers (on top of the neck, arms, tail). This is my advice to you! Not much else to say, you have talent, as a senior artist, I feel that I can help hone your talents. Hope it helps!

Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-
