Golden Yellow

Deep Plum
Great for shadows in dense foliage, adding richness to dark feathers, or creating depth in night scenes.
Begin by coloring the broad background elements like foliage and water with lighter tones to establish the scene. Then, focus on layering colors for the intricate feathers of each bird, building up depth and texture from light to dark. Pay attention to the direction of feather growth for a more realistic effect.
Colored pencils are highly recommended for capturing the fine details in feathers, beaks, and intricate foliage. Water-based markers can be used for vibrant base layers in backgrounds or larger areas of plumage, allowing for smooth blends.
To create dimension in feathers, use subtle gradient shading, applying more pressure at the feather base and lighter strokes towards the tips. For tree branches and leaves, layer different shades of green and brown to mimic natural light and shadow, giving a three-dimensional feel to the jungle scenes. Soft, circular motions work well for smooth transitions.
This collection offers a wonderful challenge for intermediate to advanced colorists, with many pages featuring intricate feather patterns and detailed natural backgrounds. Some simpler designs are included for a more relaxed experience, making it a diverse book for varying skill levels.
