Prize for http://storytellingchoir.deviantart.com/ who asked for a crow and magpie in flight :)

I originally said I'll do a coloured sketch, but I thought that I might upgrade it to a speed painting instead. Hope you don't mind the change!

I have no idea why it turned out so dark looking...it originally had a lighter atmosphere but it kind of just turned this way and the colours turn weird whenever I try to make it lighter/more colourful :/ I had lots of fun painting it though, especially since I usually don't draw birds!

Used this as a reference for the magpie: 3.bp.blogspot.com/-Zph0XQ2iOgs…

Hope you like it!
