Fine-tipped colored pencils are essential for the intricate details of the crest, lion's fur, and unicorn's mane. Gel pens can add metallic sheen to the crown and helmet. For the expansive sky and water, watercolor pencils or markers allow for smooth blending and atmospheric effects.
Start by outlining the main subjects like the lion and unicorn to define boundaries. Use a limited palette for the crest to maintain clarity. Apply light, even pressure for initial layers on larger areas like the sky and water. Focus on one section at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Employ cross-hatching or stippling for texture on the lion's mane and unicorn's flowing hair. Use layered blending to create depth and dimension in the stormy sky and reflective water. Add metallic effects to the crown, helmet, and crest details for a regal finish. Experiment with subtle gradients on the mountains and castle for realism.
