Default My First bird/hawk
hey guys... its been awhile since ive been on the fourm .... sorry... but this is my first attempt at a bird/hawk... no lie it started out as an eagle but the beak had a knot in it... so i broke that off and the beak became smaller more hawk like... so the rest of the bird changed with it too...

Cool, keep at it and be prepared to do a lot more improvising, it's the nature of wood.

You're off to a good start. For the next one you might want to include the ridge across the upper mandible and to remove a bit of wood from under the lower mandible muscle.

The mouth should run back even with the eye or just even with the front of the eye.
