Description I've been looking at some tutorials lately and have been itching to try out some Photoshop techniques since I am really not at all adept with digital painting. This one's got some problems, but I don't feel like spending much time trying to fix it when I'm really just trying to get more comfortable with digital media. John Bauer-influenced color scheme.

Anyway, I have no idea what's going on in this piece. I figure the birds either tangled her hair up in the trees as a prank or they're seriously considering using it for their nests and maybe that "injured" bird isn't injured at all and is really just a decoy to distract her from their malicious intent... I know, the title sounds so poignant, but those sparrows are up to something...

The drawing is pretty. Although I thought the sparrow was injured and the other sparrows tied her hair to the branches because they were being protective of their injured friend...

After reading the description and taking a second look at the sparrows, I'm giggling! The sparrows are all looking different ways like "We're up to something but let's not make it TOO obvious!" This is so amazing! Definate !!

Awww, this is very nice. The colours are very impressive and her hairs glows like gold... That maybe the reason why the little birds want it for their nests. "Tschilp, look at my home, tschiiip, its golden, tschipepe!!"

Really beautiful.
