Description
Whaaat? I posted on a weekday? What is this nonsense!Why yes. Yes, I did post during the week.
...So a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting in first period, bored, and started to draw a semi-realistic Articuno. I kept working on it that same day. Said picture was given to my friend so I can't show you how I inked it.
Last Saturday, I think it was, I started to digitize this beast. And so I did.
Hopefully you like this piece because I cannot even say how much time was poured into this.

It's great! Although, it IS a little small...But you've got the actual design down!

Yeah, I noticed that after I was done inking. ...But the inking took me a good hour and a half so I wasn't keen to do any more linework again. But thanks. ;v; I'll watch out for that when I draw a bird again... xDx Man, they're tough!
