almost finished with the head..... i admire the feathers around the eyes in this, but feel i got a bit lazy as I moved upward. i'll have to go back and fix that..... anyway, after i finish the head, I have to do the body..... sad face. i just want to be finished. it'll be a while before I draw feathers again after this.......

also, for those of you who are super critique-y (couldn't think of the right word lol), please keep in mind i'm in 9th grade and still have a lot to learn before you look for perfection. i'm not discouraging critique, just go a bit easy in respect of my age thx
