I encourage you all to join and show your best bird art.

The Process

Let me show you the steps I took to create this entry. I am using Adobe sketchbook the brushes I used are called: traditional pencil, tattoo ink, and glow.

Rough sketch of the bird using the brush: traditional pencil. I chose pink to remind myself to remove this layer later on.

Time to color the bird. I used white , gray and black. The brush: tattoo ink is very helpful in creating the feathery effect. At this stage I am deciding what dark background color would work and this shade of blue looks good.

The final details were added like the bark of wood, the depth of the picture and final adjustments on tiny details of the feathers.

Hope you like my entry.

Thanks for dropping by 😊
