Why do people draw crows with yellow beaks when crows almost always have gray beaks except a few species. Lol.
>>5136798Maybe the original drawing was a starling and it's just been mixed up through the years.
>>5136798most people are ignorant or stupid when it comes to animals
>>5136798Melding of comon blackbird and crow. Mainly I think it's an aesthetic compromise to make something easier to see and draw thousands of frames of in cartoons and have its talking/emoting look okay.
>>5136798Same reason people draw corocdiles and alligators green
>>5136798I blame Disney.
My crow friend that stops by for snacks has a black beak.He lands on my truck mirror and taps on the window.He gets peanuts from me.
>>5136798>>5136919Contrast, and ease of animation. Same reason all the old characters wore gloves and had collars.
>>5136798The unrealistic orange beak and legs for clearer animation is forgivable but the usual lack of rictal bristles is extremely lazy. Adding the contour for the bristles would add almost nothing to the animation and colouring labour. Very irritating to see.
>>5136800>>5136911Pathetic
>>5136798i guess its due to it being an easy way to make it more visually striking due to the natural contrast of yellow and black
>>5136798>>5136853I can understand these two but one i don't get is how common blue elephants are
>>5136798>>5140200gray is a flat borderline colour and it always looks weird in cartoons
>>5136798For the same reason they give wolves pointy ears.
Cartoons are usually shit at getting non-mammals right in general, especially birds. Hence stuff like the Roadrunner looking nothing at all like a roadrunner, vultures usually being portrayed by condors, female peacocks with male traits, etc.
>>5136798Also, penguins as well.
>>5136911It’s easier to animate and read facial expressions for birds with lighter beaks, same with apes having light faces instead of dark faces in old animation.
