Thank you! The cockatiel is just a variation on a traditional bird model, but I might do photographic diagrams in case anyone wants them. I also designed the compy pictured left.

Not OP, but it just takes a lot of experience. Fold a lot of different origami subjects, bith simple and complex. Observe the techniques used to create different aspects of a model. The best way for a beginner to design is to take an existing model and modify it. Generally, it just boils down to observation and experience.

There are several techniques to go about designing a model, even before you pick up the paper. Robert Lang has written a book called "Origami Design Secrets: Mathematical method for an Ancient Art". It's a bit pricey, but well worth it if you are serious about designing.

Yeah, my cockatiel is really just a modified traditional canary. I'm still just a beginning designer.

Modify other people's works, unfold them (look at the structure of the crease pattern), fold from crease patterns, pay attention to common procedures in diagrams, and similar looking areas in CPs, read Origami Design Secrets, etc.
