Well the owner of the original had it hanging on the wall but the frame fell down, the pic got damaged so he asked if I could re-draw it. The old on is still ok but yeah its a bit damaged, so of course...
here is the 2nd one. I think its a small improvement but I do like the old one still.
you can see the old version here

Thanks Moogle! Yeah, this one is a lot different with regards to the tones and harsh lines I used last time. I still enjoy the look of the old one but this one is a bit better. There is still a lot of work to do learning to draw the feathers on a birds body. Especially the ones with more then one colour.

Wow, very nice! I think the second version has some finer details and shows some growth in your skill.
-
Thank you, and yes! I am happy anytime I can see some improvement in my work and especially when comparing a first attempt to the second (1 year apart)

It's much more realistic, is my impression. Especially the eye. Not sure if that's how your style has been developing or if that's a result of further studies over the year, but you certainly have better control over shading and lines, nice job.

Well there are three factors truthfully.
1. The first was was my first try, it was intended to be a draft but I wanted to give it to the person and they said they really liked it already (so okay then). It was also intended to give someone an idea of how I the different pencils to achieve lights and darks (my tutorial).
2. Because I was actually going for a real copy over the old one (which was basically the draft (this is how I usually work)) I used better paper. the better paper gives mush more control over the pencil shading
3. By comparing the draft to the photo I can pic up the errors I made such as the shape of the head, the eye, etc. Having the draft makes a huge different as I don't usually use my eraser to do them, whatever errors i make I fix on the "good copy" which this one is.This is basically what it should have looked like the first time around. The main difference is that now I am used to the paper, I am more sure i know what the pencil is going to do and how its going to move, where as before I did not. for example, http://www.sammacha.com/gallery/traditional/animals.html#Swallow
Thanks for your thoughtful comment Rory :)

The shading and texture-rendering looks fantastic!

Thank you so much Nattles, I really like working on images that I can try to give textures too.

Nice work on this Sam! There's definitely an' improvement in the shading and the lighter tone you've done, rather than the harden edges. Looks a lot more smooth. Lovin' the way you did the feet as well. :D
