I intended for a drawing I did less than a week ago to have pigeons in it, but they turned into ravens. I still wanted to draw something with pigeons, so I drew this.

Drawing details-
layers in use: 14
main tool(s) used: watercolor.
Drawn with: mouse
Time: timer's accurate
style: semi-realism
background: sky
Inspiration: I don't know, just wanted to do pigeon art

If you have any questions about my art, like how I did something, feel free to ask C:

.... but..... I thought that this was a painting....

How in the world do you do the cross-hatching effect you used here? It awesome! <3

XD aw, thank you! Here's how I got that texture:
1.Make a new layer, and use the paint bucket to cover it entirely (the color doesn't matter)
3. Then go to where it says effects and select the noise option and hit render color (or rendermonochrome).
4. Next, on the layer pallet, where it says "normal" change it to "overlay" or "vivid light"( which ever you prefer, vivid is a lot like overly, just more intense)
5. Now, going back over to effects select blur, and blur the layer (I think 10 worked)
6. Duplicate the layer. Each time you duplicate it, the color swells and becomes more vibrant.
7. Repeat step six however times you'd like (I think I duplicated it quite a lot)
8. Now merge the layers back together, the layer should be very vivid and distorted now.
9. Lower the opacity (In the drawing, the opacity is set too 80% I think)
10. Erase any part of the picture you don't want to be covered by the effect.

Your art really deserves more attention! I especially love the canvas effect you add and sort of rustic feel to it, it definitely stands out, and I hope this doesn't sound weird, but the warm colors you use make me feel all fuzzy inside :3

@Barry- That's so sweet thanks ;3

@Athenian dragon- Aw, thank you!I wanted to try to take urban aspects, like the pigeons and the apparael, but handle them with a rustic way. No, that's not weird, it's actually very nice! My lighting is definately on the warm side, but lately I have been expirimenting with cooler tones( however I do prefer warm colors x3)

@Aurealis- No problem ^^
