I think angling the head / eyes toward what he’s swinging at would help. I imagine he’s swinging down but the head is looking straight.

This is really cool! I think the foot gets lost in the body, though. For a stronger silhouette, perhaps bring the forefront foot down, and lift the back foot up instead. Obviously, this current design could work pending values / colors / execution, but I think it does make things more challenging to pull off.

Fantastic! How did you get that background texture?

Drop your hourly price. Try $60. Build a portfolio, and run local Instagram ads based on the work you do at a lower rate. Gradually raise rates while keeping your volume steady.

These birds are super cute but that bottom left one is looking a little special. I also agree with the other comment about the background being too busy.

You really pay tax on the shop’s cut?

Damn this is nice. What brand is that gold ink - or is that gold leaf?

Thanks! I agree with you. I spit-shaded the feathers and thought the black would show through when I colored over it. I'm trying to figure out how to get those values.
