I'm nearly done with my Peregrine in pastel which I had been mentioning to people:
I need peoples advice on its wing shape, though I've since completed the other wing, its in that shape. I did not have any reference photos of Peregrines, only prarie falcons, of which I stuck the head and wings together of a couple of different birds and overlayed it with peregrine markings instead. Its sort of a mishmash way of doing bird art, but its illegal to directly nick other peoples photos so I have to do it this way!
Anyway, Can anyone tell if the barring is right on the wings? Should the tips be pointier?
Im going to change some of the lighting on its back as well, though its not quite as dark as this in life.
I'm doing it on top of a dead pigeon, though I think Im ok with that one.
