ANDREW GIBBONS SKETCHBOOK

I think the last one as a contrast problem the white feather are catching more of attention than the face because they are the lightest part of the body and due to the rest being red it make them pop i think the solution would be to introduce some red into the feather and to lighten up the face with more white.

cheers for the observations.
I don't mind too much if the belly was taking more attention for being white
This is just experimentation for me, not trying to make designs for a particular use
allot of animals don't have the easiest to read forms because of their pattern and colouration and that is something I'm Trying to wrap my head around with these, they are pretty much studies without wanting to just reproduce the reference one to one.

I did go back in to re-introduce the front teeth so I also toned down the belly brightness and touched up areas.
I could fix it endlessly but one of the things I'm trying to practice is not getting so hung up and wanting to fix things forever. haha
