Whenever I’m stumped or short on inspiration I always go back to birds. Cardinals are one of my favorite types of birds, but I haven’t been able to properly illustrate one until now.

As always I’m up for any feedback and suggestions.

Nice! I’ve always been a big fan of cardinals as well. I think you nailed it. Looks terrific.
Really love the slightly textured feel.
