Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate feather details and delicate patterns on the dove's body and background. Fine-tip markers or gel pens can add crispness to the outlines and highlights. For larger areas like the background circle, brush markers or watercolor pencils can provide smooth, even coverage.
Start with the dove's body using a light, even color. Use simple color schemes for the background elements, like a soft blue for the sky and light green for the floral patterns. Work from larger areas to smaller ones to build confidence. Take breaks to maintain focus and prevent hand fatigue.
Create depth in the dove's feathers using multiple shades of white, gray, or even iridescent colors through layering. Use blending techniques for the sunburst rays behind the cross. Apply fine detail work to the intricate patterns on the dove's body and background florals using sharp pencils or fine-tip markers. Experiment with subtle gradients on the olive branch.
