A little Red-breasted Nuthatch on a branch (that stick killed me when I tried to make it look realistic)

My first realistic bird made completely in Photoshop with tablet.
I started drawing it because I wanted to practice my sketching skills with the tablet, and then I decided to keep working on it.
Im happy with how the Nuthatch itself turned out, the background and branch though.. im more undecided about them. :P

Anyway, feedback would be really, really appreciated on this one since its my first digital birdie, im also open for suggestions concerning the background :)
And as always, I greatly appreciate comments and favs if ya liek it!

Really impressive artwork! The bird is totally realistic looking. And, the viewer is looking at the bird, not the branch. So I think it's better for the branch to have less detail and texture. You should be proud of this! (BTW, I'm on here now! My Spore name is exxon.)

Hey exxon, welcome to deviantART! :D
Yaaay, happy you like this little fella, and your completely right about that with the branch! Guess I wont have to worry to much about it not being enough detailed anymore ;)

WOW, incredibly well done :) I haven't had much luck with a tablet yet, but I'm learning. I definitely couldn't do anything NEARLY this good, that's for sure.

Thaanks Arb! Yesh, well I've been practising quite much with that thing.. I still cant do proper line art, the lines turn out all wobbly O.o
The best way of learning a tablet is definitely to keep trying, so I'm sure you can make something like this or something better after some practise! :D

I'd certainly like too! But I have trouble with realism for some reason... it always turns out looking cartoonish XD

Hahah well realism is really really difficult I agree, all the details gotta be right!
And the colors, one thing that helps to make coloring more realistic is to add a tint of blue to the shadows and yellow to the highlights :D
