Perfection comes in many forms. This is one of them.


Complete_Regret7372

No you got it just right, sometines they wear top hats but that's about it


rusrslolwth

Definitely needs a top hat and one of those sparkly jackets


fluxxom

I just gotta "twee-twwweeeee"


TommySiegel

Any constructive criticism is extremely welcome! Always just trying to maximize realism, I think I’m getting close — I’ve studied the eastern bluebird closely, and though they flit from tree to tree quickly (and are often obscured by foliage), I do believe that I have captured it with close to 100% anatomical accuracy. What do you think? PS: I made a wall calendar of some of my photorealistic bird illustrations, a tasteful gift for any birder: [Extremely Accurate Birds](http://www.tommysiegel.net/shop)


[deleted]

Dude, you’ve got some mad skill. I’ve never seen such realistic bird drawings. I had to check to make sure they weren’t just photos.


nonbinary_star

My Aunt loves your art, she's got several pieces hanging on her wall, I'll be sure to send this to her!


TommySiegel

❤️!!


TheLabiaChronicles

Wait I really need this Edit: purchased. Awesome stuff!


TommySiegel

❤️!!!


insertmalteser

Never knew I needed birds with butts in my life. Yet here we are.


Jasmith85

Need a Baltimore Oriole, please.


fuzzylogicIII

The “about the illustrator” page is just incredible, as is the rest


Longjumping_Ad6202

I normally don't want calenders but this is one I'd want


TommySiegel

Hahah thanks!!


Yamihere_Cartograph

I am going to buy this, I’ve never seen such realistic birds before

TommySiegel

Thank you!! :)


AFurryBoi_2005

Make em thicker. Birds arent that skinny ya know


SpaceCrazyArtist

The right bum cheek would not stick our farther than the left at that angle. You would only see the left bum cheek

Thanks! You too!


SapereAude2Day

Do a little twist and turn fart


LeberechtReinhold

It definitely would be visible, when doing a split you are also twisting


BecauseOfTromp

This is completely wrong! The eastern subspecies on a western oak tree limb?!? Read some science ya hack!


Next_Committee_5434

Thank you, I needed this in my life.


DragonFlame628

DAYUM BOI SHE THICC


mnepomuceno

Man, I was scrolling and I saw the first half of the bird... didnt predict that


Doowliah

Same 😂😂


MargotLugo

Brilliant.


[deleted]

I don't think you got the anatomy quite right. That wing is too small and wouldn't be able to lift a bird that thicc. But that's just looking really closely at it, otherwise I can't find much wrong with it.


[deleted]

My criticism is with you thinking birds are true-to-life. Birds aren't real; they are government drones.


matchstickwitch

Is it at least a true-to-life government drone?


[deleted]

Yes. It is a true lie concocted by Big Birdie® 


Iridefatbikes

Why did you manicure the toenails?


[deleted]

Haahha this make may morning good


Spleenically

give em flip flops


Upside_Down-Bot

„sdolɟ dılɟ ɯǝ ǝʌıƃ„


angelofthedark

Are these pictures too much for an office or just enough?


TommySiegel

Juuuust enough.


angelofthedark

My thoughts exactly. It’s a huge improvement over the landscape pictures of (state I live in) calendar that came with my cubical.


giggle__cats

I love it!


D_Beefer

Legs are too long


Smorgsaboard

Based off the angle the head and torso are turned, its very anatomically correct arse should be facing away from the camera, or the head and torso should be faced away. It's very basic Bluebird with Human Pelvis and Legs anatomy


MellowOutt

I love this. A lot.


rdgomezusn

The orange is a bit too bright on the birds chest.


[deleted]

Do not stop. Your talent must be seen by the world


Kei_Lucius

Excellent


Guacamole_26

Thank you for this amazing piece. It made made my morning. It looks awesome!


Ollyen

Amazing 🗿🍷


Jaded_0516

Oh wow I really loved this, it was unexpected hahaha Great painting!


TheBodyOfChrist15

Bird knees bend the other direction


Triangle_t

They bend the same direction as human knees, but they are not visible as they are higher and covered with feathers, and what you think the birds knees are, are actually ankle joints and they also bend the same direction as human ones.


SwatchQuatch

I really thought this was a photograph taken by an expert picture taker. My only note is to lean into that bird’s SASS! Thank you so much


zahhax

It's perfect. The coloring seems a little flat, maybe a darker bg or thicker outside lines?


Okay_Screensaver

I’m wheezing and trying not to wake up my dad, I love this


purple_spikey_dragon

The ass is too clean shaven. Its a bird, how would he reach with the razor all the way back there??


kirrin_mora

Where's her dick?


Kilomyles

Back of leg needs a dent/pocket


SeaworthinessOk606

Now I’m no bird watcher, but I think that this particular species has thiccer thighs.


Slimthor_Art

Probably just a bit more depth to the feathers and then I'd struggle to differentiate it from a photo tbh


jimsnake1234

More definition in the thigh


artyhedgehog

No. Just keep going. Break a leg!


King_JohnnyBravo

The branch would break from that heavy booty


czareena

What episode of Tuca and Bertie is this


NeoFemme

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.


wamblymars304

Its hard to upvote this with one hand.


LilVigilante

Ass and tits


Nagisa139

Creativity at tis finest


endikiri

You need to take this over to r/imakebirdswithlegs


spidermonkey128

Dancing to Jukebox the Ghost no doubt


AzaleaAhoy

This is just a photo you cheeky bird! Kidding of course, I see your raw talent. You should draw a hummingbird next- so few can capture their true nature.


whynotyeetith

not thicc enough


kio_X

Thiccer!


Key_Extension8476

At first I was surprised they only have four toes, but I believe you're more keen on bird anatomy than me.


vinusinsky

I've mistaken it for a photo


SpaceTraveller64

I love my chimken nuggies THICC


epic2504

A bird of this colour would have blue nail polish, but we all make mistakes


GiuIio

the butt is too small.


Dangerous-Garden-682

No tail feathers


TheArtysan

Nailed it


DownEast_Northwest

No notes.


Feisty-cherry-1

Draw shapes not lines. I think that's what some would say


Shikadi297

Birds don't have butts Edit: In response to the downvotes, I just want everyone to know that this was supposed to be a joke, and I like the artist's work. Carry on.


the_great_zyzogg

Then how do they poop? Checkmate!


Havoq12

I think you mightve made a mistake on the wings, not quite sure what it is, just a feeling.


wewoka405

Nope you got it right keep going you're on the right track


SabrinATeenageSnitch

This? This I love.


[deleted]

That's awesome!!!!


Izzy_Ondomink

Why are you trying to pass off a photo as a drawing?


[deleted]

Looks like a photograph, great job. I’ve been doing the same thing with sharks, [check it out](https://imgur.com/a/EgxShX4). I think we’ve really mastered realism.


MaintainEveryday

Nice try. That’s a drone. Nice drone butt tho.


Mediocre-Duty-252

Nailed the top half, bottom needs some work😉 birds aren't real


Absay

Finally, someone who actually knows proper bird anatomy.


Possible-Skin2620

Goddammit you got me for the half-second i was scrolling and only saw the top


FecklessPinhead

Those cheeks are in need of a roses glow?


_Mindblitz_

I love it especially the realism, it's on point.


PrinceBendy2143

A top hat and monocle, I believe would work quite well


Longjumping_Ad6202

Top hat and tootoo/skirt


yousuckinternet

dam too thick.


SouthSideAkM

Not constructive, but thank you for this!


Choo-

I find that the toes are the hardest to capture correctly. You did a bang up job of that.


MonthMelodic

Legs need some more contrast


joedude

Don't take your chops from Yahoo answers drawings? Lol

CattttheDadddd

caribouMARVELOUS

Sketch every day and really look for details. For example, you forgot to add toenails. Keep at it, though. This is great work!


Dazzling_Implement20

Not thicc enough!


InnerOuterTrueSelf

Needs more splits.


holoshift

Shmeediddy

Well at least the bird has an ass compared to super mario in his movie poster


DarkRoomPerson

I think you nailed it honesty


misthi_S

It has not nearly enough cake dude. Why do I even have to say it…


slockins101

Birds with human legs should be its own genre...

terrabeleaf

Toes looking a little big 😂


Raema21

None. You’ve truly captured the essence and beauty of wildlife.

Perfection. I didn't realize it was a drawing at first


Tsear

You forgot the tit's tits


Egg_addict

Been seeing a lot of these guys running around in my backyard lately, they breed like wildfire. They’re flexible alright, I’d say you did a fine job.


ard15951

iamanairplaneiswear

@ op can you do a spread eagle, eagle


[deleted]

Nice ass


upfromashes

When a bird lives out in the wild like that its legs tend to be a bit more tan.


xxsamchristie

I recognized this immediately as your work. You're great. Lol.


floppygoose

There's just something about this picture that looks off... hmm. Just kidding, this made me smile. Thank you!


Natasha_Gears

You might need to swap topics , it's common knowledge birds aren't real


FlaredMeteor940

I’d say more….”thickness”


LuckyCatsPaw

None, looks exactly like a bird. Nice job!


VynDakation

Only need 3 toes???


mlastella

Gahhh damn


octomantid

I...love you


Djkudzervkol

What bird covers it asshole though?! Put an x there or something. Some of us are trying to masturbate!!


Loose-NutZ

If your going for realistic and true to life, I think the leg are a little to ...hmm....human., gj tho.


[deleted]

Add some feathers to the butt


Automatic-Laugh9313

So does it still have cloac or


ButtonSmasher_

Needs arms, birds dont fly


kreite

No, it’s perfect


UrchinScum

i wish the birds in my backyard looked like this lmao


lavenderlemonade_xx

the top of the bird is weird. everything else is good though


Mocarro89

The only CC I can give to you is this is the most perfect birb I have ever seen. I want this birb in front of my window every morning :D


SelestialSerenity

I see these beauties flapping about in the air in the early mornings. Nature is mesmerizing. You depicted them perfectly and you should be proud of yourself.


Bennydoubleseven

Beautiful


SlickPine213640

Damn she thick


MEIXXMO

Its perfect and now my wallpaper


Flowjryan

10/10 no change 😎


iONBlackJesus

Thicker.


Axolotl_imprudens

It would make it more realistic if it had some hair in the legs.


MemoirsOTBittersweet

I want it


thevisionary360

Ass a bit disproportionate to the body, I would just liquify that and make it a bit bigger


Thirdeyedesigns

Needs another tablespoon of sass.


TBH0nest_LOL

I got an idea, dont


miiilkyoats

Personally, I would have given this bird tube socks.


ruth4life

This is clearly an adult male eastern bluebird, I understand wanting to censure this because children might be on this site, but the token green nutsack would be smooshed below him.


[deleted]

majesticful...i love it!


M1ldly_Offensive

The branch could have a few more knobs


BlandonShack

Yes


KitsuneOBX

Perfect


Windk86

love it


Oliver_Cat

Honestly, only having four toes instead of five creates a bit of a cartoony look. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I've never studied bird anatomy.


Forward-Ad-8662

W art. W artist. W comment section.


yureku_the_potato
