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.
