Description
It might be fun to make Christmas cards.Christmas can't get here soon enough... and yet I'm saying goodbye to so many friends- which really sucks and there's still so much to do and pack, and pay for and Aaagh-
Anyway, I painted this and now I feel better.
Edit: I need to credit this photographer because this was such a great reference picture.

I have a bunch of cardinals in my yard right now XD. You did such a great job with the anatomy ;u;. Those berries though XD, they are amazing and so shiny.

No problem, A female cardinal got stuck in our screen porch once and I had to remove it. It was ticked at me it was screeching and biting my finger, but it flew off just fine.

Woah, this is really pretty...! I like how you used a female cardinal--usually you see male cardinals in this kind of artwork.

Thank you! Yeah- the males are always brighter in color- but I think the females look interesting- at least with cardinals.

Thanks! I added the reference I used. My favorite part of starting a drawing is looking up ref material.

D'aaawwwee.. Shes so cute.. ;w; I actually caught one of those and a wren before as a little kid with my cousins and took a picture of it. Fun times lol. Sadly the little girls got stuck in the chicken coop's netting when trying out their food. And man.. When are you leaving or heading to? D:

Wow! Aww, good for you! I hope you didn't get bit- these suckers can draw blood. I leave on the 23rd to go home. Message me cause we aught to hang out at least once more.

Lol! In matter in fact the little Cardinal Did peck at me a few times but thankfully didn't draw blood. When I let go after the photo however it just bailed and you could see she was so done in the second picture I let her loose. "CRAZY HUMAN!!!" xD
And oh jeez that's really close! Awe man. Well lets try to figure something out and maybe this time we might need to exchange our numbers just in case, if thats alright.
