Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate feather details and bark textures, allowing for precise layering and blending. Fine-tipped markers can highlight specific patterns on the bird, while broad-tipped markers or pastels can cover the larger tree trunk areas smoothly.
Begin by coloring the largest areas like the tree trunk with a light base color. Use a consistent direction for strokes. For the woodpecker, tackle the main body first before adding smaller details. Don't be afraid to take breaks to avoid hand fatigue.
Utilize cross-hatching to create realistic bark texture on the tree. Layer 3-4 shades of similar hues on the woodpecker's feathers to add depth and realism. Experiment with stippling for finer feather details. Use light and shadow to make the woodpecker stand out from the trunk.
