The King Fisher

Postby LibrarySystem » Sat Oct 05, 2019 8:21 am

I might have spent too much time on this... I also gave myself a bit of a challenge to not use any blending tools. Like the smudge tools, or water colors or anything. I ONLY used the paint brush to apply the colors. But I did go ahead and use the air brush for the shading and the background. I think it's a real fun challenge. And it really helps me work on my color intensity and helps me pay attention to how much i'm diluting and making colors vibrant.

I used this picture off of google as reference: This

And I based this off of one of my acheived dreamies for the Oekaki challenge! I love this bby! And I'm pretty darn sure it was designed to be a kingfisher in the first place. >u<

This is absolutely gorgeous! I'll second lpsbluechinchilla's suggestion. I love how you challenged yourself with no blending.
