Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate details of the cacti spines and roadrunner feathers. Fine-tip markers can provide crisp lines for outlines. For larger areas like the sky and road, broad-tip markers or even watercolors can create smooth, even coverage.
Start with the largest areas like the sky and road using light, even pressure. Use a simple palette of greens for cacti and browns for the ground. Work from top to bottom to avoid smudging. Don't be afraid to leave some areas white for contrast.
Create depth in the mountains using layered shades of brown and purple. Use stippling or cross-hatching for textured ground and rock details. Blend multiple greens for realistic cactus variations. Add subtle highlights to the roadrunner's feathers for dimension.
