Thought he was so cute that I couldn't stop myself ^u^

First time drawing on cs in a very long time.
How I wish my pen pressure would work oh man.

here you go

,

how do you draw rocks, specifically rocks in a pile? hahah thanks

Doing research on drawing birds is hard simply because there are so many different types of birds that come in all shapes and sizes. Their wings, necks, body shapes, and beaks can greatly differ from bird to bird. So I recommend studying different kinds of birds and what is the same about them and what is different.

For this drawing I went with a simple canary for the standing pose. I actually don't know what type of bird I used for the top down drawing, but it seems very similar. I am not good at birds at all, so you'll have to forgive my lack of knowledge when it comes to random bird facts and tips. On the bright side, I do love to draw wings.

When it comes to drawing wings, both the anatomy and feathers can be separated into 3 sections.
Wings aren't just all feathers and actually have a skeleton that runs through it. Wings are a bird's arms and "hands". And are actually quite similar to ours. For a visual, I drew one up for you, but you can also check out the ref I used for it here. There is the upper arm (the part that attaches to the shoulder), the forearm, and then the "hand". They bend in the similar ways as our arms as well, usually just in more extremes. One thing to be aware of is that the size of each of these parts are greatly different from bird to bird. So be sure to look up references of what kind you want to draw beforehand. A general tip is that the upper arm is usually shorter then the forearm (unlike with humans where it's usually equal). It's hard to describe their "hands", but visualize yourself about to give someone a handshake; From that angle, a bird can bend their "hand" all the way down to the point it folds in on its self. You, most likely, can't bend your hand down very far in that position.

Once you have the basic shape, now it's time to put feathers on it. feathers can also be sectioned off into 3 parts. The 'top" feathers are covering over the actual skeleton part, and are usually small a layered. The "bottom" feathers are usually quite long, and don't have bones running through them. These feathers are strictly for flight, and are the parts that are clipped by those who do not want their pet bird flying away. The last part is the "connecting" section. I personally don't know how to describe this part very well, but it extends over both top and bottom parts and is generally where the shoulder is located. These feathers are usually very small, and I wouldn't bother drawing them individually.
I'm not gonna attempt to explain how feathers fold into each other, so here's a simple gif showing it.

Some other general anatomy:
The eyes of a bird are always on the sides of the head, expect for birds like owls; which on on the front (like ours).
Necks are usually not very defined simply because of all the feather fluff around them. So the body and the head usually just kinda, meld into each other. Exceptions would be birds like cranes.
On a birds feet the legs always bend backwards (the opposite of ours). On most birds, half of the leg is hidden away under feather fluff, while on others (like flamingos) have long legs that show both halves.
All birds have tail feathers, simply because without them they couldn't steer their bodies when they flew. The size and length of these tails differ from bird to bird, so look at references before drawing them. They also spread out and fold in on themselves, just like the arm feathers. However, this is usually less noticeable.

I hope I covered everything and this is helpful. I personally don't know a lot about birds, so if any information I give here is incorrect, please correct me!! Everything written here is based off observations made while looking at references for the drawing. My actual knowledge of bird anatomy is little.

Nervous and gross in my style hhh

Oh boy what a disaster

So this is my candle... I know its basic, but I love the design! <3

Im going to add more to this, but for now its like this.

dsgdgdd i told myself id b drawing a human for once but,,, i saw this n got sidetracked

oh my god i love this concept a lot?? i dont really have anything special or interesting/creative but this was so fun aaa
shes baby...

My coloring & edits are a bit rushed but I hope this is alright! Bat has 6 eyes and four ears, if you couldn't tell, aha. Here's another ref of them.

UwU
Little Bud sneaked in his owners cambint and grabbed a pizza
which is strange as Bud says that he doesn't like pizza hmm?
btw Bud is blind in his left eye <3

Just 2 quick sketches. I couldn't even draw it from the same angle lol

Alrighty, hands. This is one of the hardest things to draw just because there is so much to keep track of.

For the most part, I think I wrote down most of what I have to say on the drawing itself. So I'll just be repeating some things.
Fingers, on an averaged sized person, are relatively skinny and long. A finger can actually be bit off just as easily as a carrot can (or so I'm told). So when drawing them, think of carrots instead of sausages.
The finger has 3 rotating parts, and the thumb has 2. The rotating parts are really the only areas you need to place extra skin wrinkles (it folds and stretches with the movement of your fingers).
There are an equal amount of parts that do not move at all. For example, you can't physically bend the very tip part of your fingers.
In between every finger, there is little "skin pockets". I don't know what they are actually called but that's what we're going with. Basically, you can see the skin from the front of your hand inbetween these areas. However, that's all it is, just skin. The thumb has a much bigger skin pocket, and it move around with the thumb.
Speaking of the thumb; the main hand is a lopsided square, however the itself sits on it's own triangle space. This space moves independently from the square (I hope that makes sense).
On the hand, you can usually see bones and veins etc. This does sometimes differ from person to person. At least on my hands, the veins and bones are pretty prominent.
The wrist is super important for movement of your hands! So try not to forget to draw it! The wrist has to circular areas on either side, with just a slight area in the middle that "isn't quite hand but isn't quite wrist", if that makes sense.

"Cartoon hands" is a very broad term, because everyone does them differently. Three very simple rules most of them follow is: they usually always have 4 fingers, only bend in 2 places, and don't have wrists. Of course these aren't hard and fast rules, but it is a guideline.
I'm not really sure what you kids are into these days, but the hands referenced above are (from left to right), Gravity Falls, Steven's Universe, Adventure Time, Spongebob Squarepants, Phineas and Ferb, and The Simpsons.
If you would like to draw hands like some of your favorite cartoons, I would recommend just looking up said cartoons and drawing their hands from reference. There are most likely tutorials on YouTube from the actual creators that show how to draw the characters; I would recommend checking those out too.

Hands is something you simply have to practice to get better at. I used to draw hands behind the back and all that jazz in order to avoid them, because I was no good at drawing them. However, one day I made a decision to never hide hands again and always force myself to draw them. It's tough, but you have to draw them in order to get better at them. Tough love, baby.
One way to try and get better fast is to go over to my fave site: SketchDaily. From there, go under the "body parts" tab and select "hands". Draw hands as often as you can in different poses. Your brain will start to get a general idea on how they work and how you draw them the more you do it.
