This is what I have so far:

The other pages look a lot like this, with slightly different doodling and coloring. The detail coloring is done with glitter pans. The background paint job is done with metallic paints, so it looks a little different in real life - glitter and metallic paints don't scan well.
What I am wondering is whether I've done enough. Will a few layers of paint, some doodling, and some glitter qualify this page as complete, or do I need to add some deeply dimensional elements to add texture? Is the doodling enough, or should I add more detailing?
If I were sending it to you, would you be pleased?

I loved those teapots and this bird is cool too! can't wait to see all of it!
very nice, looks like leather.I think if your happy with it , others will be too. It has a rustic look .
I always ask that same question when I'm making things for a swap. I'm in this swap as well, my birds aren't finished yet, but they're coming along nicely.
I like your bird, personally I'd like a little more color, but that's just my opinion, it's a very gorgeous bird. I love how you took into account the pop-out wing on the cover.

If I was receiving this bird I would be very pleased. Love his coloring and he really does look like leather.
