Hi everyone! I'm enrolled in a scientific illustration class and we are currently doing a project on a process found in nature. I chose the Pileated Woodpecker and how they make nests/search for food/etc. I just wanted to post on here to gather some thoughts and critique on my process. Anything would be helpful: additional things I could add to my composition, things I may have gotten wrong, or any important facts needed! Thank you for your help!You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Nice Sketch!

Wow! That looks great! It's wonderful you chose to add the boxes with information to better present elements in the nestmaking process. I like the drawing so far! :) Maybe you could further emphasize the details on the body of the woodpecker, and as a suggestion, maybe you could try to add some color. Looking great!

You have a nice sense of line and dimension. Keep working at the details. I really like the callouts with additional information. Nice work!

I think I know how to help you. You could place a little more detail in the woodpecker such as dividing te body. Also adding color to the woodpecker would really work. Believe me, that will solution your doubts.
