@kristyglas, would you mind if I send you SBD to add to the reward pool for your contest? I'd like to show my support and encourage more steemians to join. ☺
Thank you so much!! Just tell me how much and I'll edit the 2 posts to add that.
You can send the reward to the winner yourself once I announce them and I'll let you know. (As this is usually how it's done in contests) :D
Its very cute hehe (I think it's the eyes) :D
I can see you had a bit trouble with circles/ head particularly. I highly suggest you try the exercise I suggested previously. You just put 2 paralel lines on a canvas and fill the row with circles barely touching the linez ^^ After a month of just doing it occassionally, the difference was huge for me!
hahaha well I could always go better with circles :D! but yes, even though I wasn't intending to go with cartoon style, it always ends up like that. It's very difficult to get the realism in my art, giving that much focus to details, lines, shadows..... it's hard, that's why the simplistic lines are always easier for me :P... Still I liked your tutorial and contest, it does for sure help to improve :D
Cool work! However for me to accept your entry (and resteem) you also have to do the first 3 steps of this tutorial: https://steemit.com/art/@kristyglas/little-bird-drawing-tutorial-with-steps . Just add your results to the post or comments :)
There are still 12 hours left till the end of the contest, good luck! :D
It's ok if you're a little late :) I'll post winners tomorrow as soon as I can.
I'm not sure this is what you were after but in the spirit of participation, I'll share it with you anyway.
Personally I find interpretation to be a little more interesting than technique :)
Good luck everyone!
Well I will accept yoir entry if you also do the first 3 steps of the tutorial and add that at the end of your post ( or at least in the comments) :)
You can do it quick and rough.
Trust me, doing construction sketch will make drawing so much easier. Fell free to let me know if you disagree and why, after you try it :D
Yeah I did say at the end of my entry that it is best to use guidelines. haha.
When I draw I never do guidelines unless it is for professional work. :) If it's just for fun and such, no need for guidelines for me. I can just draw 'em like I see 'em. Doesn't hurt anyone if I don't. Lol. It's just how I do things.
For me, guidelines are better if you need accuracy in drawing. That's tested and proven and always effective to use anytime. :)
I know, but I feel that this way it's fair to the other contestants :)
Also I'm not really strict this time, because I initially only had 1 SBD reward pool when I set the rules and there are still very few entries. ^^
Thank you! I understand haha, thanks to @enternamehere we have awesome rewards :D And there will be at least one more contest in the near future ^^ thanks to @tonyr.
@kristyglas, would you mind if I send you SBD to add to the reward pool for your contest? I'd like to show my support and encourage more steemians to join. ☺

Sweet, thank you for letting me in on that. I like supporting others' projects, I'll bear this in mind moving forward!
I'll add 10 SBD to the pool.
I would also like to state that I am not eligible to win any SBD from any entry to this contest! ☺
Wow, that is extremely generous of you! Would you like all to go to the first place or to divide it somehow?
Thank you so much!
Let's divide it between the first 3 winners to make things simple. Split 5-3-2 from first place to third.
Happy to contribute!
Awesome, I added it :D
(Thought I replied before haha)

Sorry just saw you post and your circles were perfect xD haha. Just a style choice ^^
