Hey! Love the drawing! I did a quick redraw to help show what I mean! I think the biggest thing to work on is understanding your forms in 3D rather than 2D. When you understand how the body, wings, and feathers are built in 3D space, shading becomes much easier because you know where the light and shadows should fall! ✏️ Since crows are naturally black, I’d recommend starting with darker values and using an eraser or lighter tones to carve out the highlights and separate the forms, rather than shading everything individually. I’d also push the gesture to make the pose feel more dynamic and focus on breaking the wings into clearer feather groups. This will help with both the silhouette and readability! 🐦 Keep it up! Hope the redraw helps! 🧡

I don’t know if I like the shading and it feels kinda wrong
