Colored pencils are excellent for rendering the fine feather details and subtle textures of the grass. Fine-tip markers or gel pens can add crisp outlines or highlights to specific parts of the ostrich. Broad-tip markers work well for smooth, even coverage of the expansive savanna background.
Start with the largest areas like the savanna floor, using light, even strokes. Focus on filling in the ostrich's body before adding details to its feathers. Use a limited palette of 3-4 colors for a harmonious look. Take breaks to keep your hand steady and prevent fatigue.
Create a sense of motion using directional strokes for the ostrich's feathers and the grasses. Employ feathering and layering techniques on the ostrich's body for realistic texture. Use atmospheric perspective in the background by lightening colors for distant elements. Experiment with cast shadows to ground the ostrich.
