Fear the awesome. >:D
I looked up several ref pictured, but I'm still not even sure if they have wings..So i just added some burn shadow to add the effect.
I tried a new fur-style, using small strokes of the watercolor at a very high blend. I like it <3
Critque requested. :3

Nicely done! Here is my critque :3
--
Pros: A cute bird is always adorable! I love the pose! It looks very cute, and has a well-expressed expression/personality also! As many people have said, it is well drawn and amazing!
~
Cons: The beak should be thinner and more pointy, not so 'stubby'. I had a hard time finding this pose, http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt ... 29,r:0,s:0 Sitting kiwis aren't so good with their posture, so draw them a little more hunched over. Their feet are more scaled, large compared to the body, and placed on the ground when they sit, as in the reference. Notice the claws. The wings are hardly visible, I suggest drawing a little more angled feathers where the wing is. Don't rely on the dodge/burn tool so much, it doesn't diversify the shading enough as opposed to if you picked your own colors. Kiwi eyes are much smaller in comparison to their head, and in turn their head is also puny compared to their body. Their hind legs are not so pronounced. The feathers should have more detail, not so blurry.
~
Overall: A very good composition and appearance. The appeal is great, and the subject is great, not so many people draw kiwis! I suggest using other art programs if you have them, as oekaki is not that good for drawing as other programs, many come with a tablet if you own one, I have Photoshop Elements 7 and Corel Painter Essentials, but any program with layers will do. This is a good picture, you need a little practice, but with time I'm sure you'll do great. Hope this helped!
