Today I bring you another sequence of photos of my latest drawing.
Since I’m using some watercolours and watercolour pencils (especially in the beginning) my first step is always to tape the paper into my drawing board. This step is very important to prevent the paper from wrinkling with the watercolours.
Next I did a pencil drawing of the birds, very lightly, and with watercolours I added some background colours to the birds and branch.
After letting everything dry completely I could start painting. In this case I started by the branch (the boring part). 🙂
Having finished this I finally started to paint the birds. As usual I used a mixture of different kinds of pencils to do this. For some parts I used the soft pencils with lines and details made with hard pencils, and in other parts I used the watercolour pencils with some water. I gave the final white highlights with a thin brush with white colour.
And here it is! The final drawing!
