I watched a tutorial on how to add light and shadows and chose my sweet little Crow that I drew a few weeks ago. He is now living in the spotlight. Almost!
I did the shading, on below and was not happy, so I made It Mine, with my signature black outline
I had just uploaded these and I watched another tutorial and the first words out of her mouth were...
One thing you should never do when drawing, is outline flowers with black. there is nothing in nature that is outlined with black, learn to add light source, shading and shadows.
OOPS! I love my black outlines and

It’s not a fail at all. It’s just transition on the way to perfection.

"A drawing is only a fail if you don’t do it!" Yes, I do believe that!!
PS And I love black outlines. "One thing you should never do when drawing, is outline flowers with black. there is nothing in nature that is outlined with black," So what? When we draw, we get to decide.
I'm impressed! I don't see a problem with your outlines. Not every drawing is meant to look like a realistic painting! :)
You must have seen on the news where a banana taped with duck tape was sold for many thousands of dollars. Your crow is adorable! And the last one is so pretty!!
Artistic licence goes a long way...therefore do in your art what you like and if it pleases you!
I Liked your lady with the sun hat, and the crow is siocute! I had a giggle at the banana 'art'!
Looks like something Charles Manson would have done while he was serving time in the pen.
we love the crow!!! and we read about the art for millions... to go bananas is the best way sometimes... literally
Well I hate to say it but when I'm drawing I like to use black outlines. I suppose if I was going for a realistic look it would be different but I'm not. The black outline makes it look more finished I think.
Those are both excellent quotes. I have a long way to go to figure out how to use that app to catch up to you.
I love your art, the crow and flowers are all wonderful. Keep on doing what you love. The quotes are excellent. Take care, have a great day!
Love that crow!
I like them ALL!!

Not outlining flowers in black doesn't make sense to me. You can take a photo of a flower if you want to see what they look like in real life. Thanks for your comments, I wanted/needed some feedback.
I like the flowers a lot the bird looks a bit crazed like Crows
