Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate feather details and layering on the crest. Fine-tip markers or gel pens can add crisp outlines and highlight smaller patterns. For smoother coverage on larger body sections, consider brush markers.
Start by coloring the largest feather sections first with light, even pressure. Use simple, contrasting colors for the crest and body to make them stand out. Focus on staying within the lines of the fanned feathers. Take short breaks to maintain focus and prevent hand fatigue.
Employ feathering strokes to create realistic texture on the body and crest, using multiple shades for depth. Utilize cross-hatching for subtle shadows under the fanned crest. Experiment with stippling on the beak for a slight rough texture. Consider negative space around the crest to make it pop.
