This really caught my eye because I love your attention to detail and the design! You have amazing patience haha this would of taken me forever. I love the interesting shape of the feather and how you chose to just use one color, I think that was a good choice. If you had colored it in then it would of looked way too busy! Since you asked for a critique though I just have a few suggestions for you that would make this sketch look like a more complete piece.

First off, it's in the middle of the page. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if you had maybe another feather behind it going diagonally. Or maybe some pattern in the background to tie it in. Right now it's just a floating feather in the middle of a page. To make a piece more interesting it's better to off set things that are singular. If you just wanted to have the one feather then maybe put it more to the bottom left of the page or falling from the top right corner.

I'd also include the title in with the piece. Maybe write "Flock 2" in creative handwriting behind the feather in the background or to the side. Look up some lettering online to get ideas also. Or if you have an interesting signature then I would definitely include that as well! I have a neat loopy one and it always adds to my piece of art.

Anyway I hope this critique helped you out a bit with this drawing and for your future works of art! Let me know if you have any comments or questions about what I said! I'm also open to more critique requests so if you want me to critique anything else of yours just send me a comment with the link on my profile and I'll get to it as soon as I can <3 Good luck with your art and keep going!
