Free Draw [Bird Week] - Darling

The Reddit "SketchDaily" prompts all week have been bird themed. Today, being "Free Draw Friday" during Bird Week, I've decided to draw a few "birds." 

There has been a "scheduled power outage" at my place today, which is annoying, so I just said fuck it and took photos of my drawings rather than scan them properly. 

I think there is a lot of improvement to be had in some of these drawings, but I'm generally happy with them. 

 
^ I referenced this outfit/pose from a "line of lovelies" in The King and the Chorus Girl. I haven't seen the movie, but the ladies sure looked lovely in the photo, indeed. I failed a bit on capturing the winged sleeves on the top, but the idea is half there. Also, blonde hair isn't easy to draw, by any means. Wondering now how to capture the more subtle hues in blonde hair, rather than resorting only to noxious yellow.

 
^ Attempted to draw Rita Moreno. I definitely don't think I captured her fine, pretty eyes or her smile, but I like the shapes and the colors! Maybe a year from now I'll do one of those "one year later re-draws" and see how my skills *hopefully* improve.

 
^ Pretty much all around happy with this one! I think she kind of ended up with a "Mona Lisa" expression. What's she thinking?
