Been working on my own acrylic painting. Planning on outlining it with Indian/Speedball ink... almost like a picture from a color comic. good luck, it may be a little difficult to go over the acrylic with ink because of the plastic-y surface. usually i will draw my piece out with pencil (or water soluble pencil if i'm working with wet media like ink) before i go in and apply the paint. i sometimes will draw my piece out in microns/india ink before adding color also. if you find that your black india ink is beading up or not taking the surface well, you can always use black acrylic paint, or black acrylic ink should probably work, too.

Critiques
I find brown to be a good compliment to blue. It’s supposed to be neutral, but in terms of comparing it to hues on the spectrum, it tends resemble warmer colours like orange and red. Everyone knows orange is the complementary of blue, so brown’s “kinship” to it complements blue quite well, and since it’s duller and neutral it doesn’t demand attention away from it.
The affect is striking when you’ve filled the image with soft blues and browns, and then in defiance those eyes show up sporting a striking and bold golden yellow.
For detail, you’ve used softer, longer strokes for the exterior, but as you close in on those eyes, the strokes become harder, tighter, and smaller; your values become bolder in contrast, and lines appear a bit sharper.
The pearlescent acrylic is best used on the tail feathers, which gives the impression of catching the light coming of the snow on the ground.
This is awesome.
