Great job up till this point we are over halfway done. The next few steps will just be shading and then laying in the outline over the top. So I'm going to be using the same general colors that I did before just in kind of a darker concentration of my brush. I'm going to go through and lay shadow over all of the clothing first, and then I'm going to switch to a smaller brush for the feathers. So along with me just paint, the outer edges, anything that might get a shadow maybe under the bus area, like so. And be mindful of where these shapes are ending.

If they get too harsh, you can grab a brush with very little water on it and go through and pick up the edges like I just did. And anytime you feel you need more control, use a little less water on your brush. I'm using a much darker shade Hear because I want this skirt to look a little silkier. Anytime you're illustrating silk, your highs and lows will be much more contrast in. So same thing with the next one. That's gonna give it a lot more distinction Good so we have those shadows laid down.

I'm going to come back with a much smaller brush. This is a number five round brush. You could use anything similar, that's just smaller with a fine point. And now I'm going to illustrate my feathers in more detail. So going to dip into a darker color than these yellow feathers. And if you see here, really what we want is just the tiny little lines and kind of shadowy effect have feathers.

So not everywhere but just in some of these places with relatively little water on my brush when it come in and touch some texture onto the top of what we've already laid down. It should be reasonably darker than your first coat so you can really see the detail. And that little touching of emotion is called stippling. It's just using very little paint on your brush and kind of creating that texture And some of the feather ends should tuck under assumption flip out. Adding a little sibling to create that plumage effect. Not all the feather ends need to be connected at the top.

Just keep it light in areas you don't really know where they start or end. They're just kind of they're good Keep in mind as you work sometimes you get a doubt of color here. Make sure you are always keeping your hand clean so you're not tracking through your artwork. If you need to, you can use a piece of paper underneath that knuckle Going back into the little bit of red just to give it more contrast. Feel free to experiment with any color you want. Great.

Here we started quite dark so we need an even darker feather accent color If you need to go back with a semi dry brush and soften the edges, feel free to do that if you don't like the shape that's made and wanted to retry that's perfectly fine. In a stop up some of the extra moisture there and try again Also laying down the accent to her belt detail here. And then I will give each of the lady is just a soft pink lip. Very delicate, hardly anything at all. I've kind of only touched the bottom of the lift where there would be shadow and even that is very, very, very soft going to also give them an indication of Shoes, standing a little pink line. And maybe some of them have a ankle strap.

Good. I'm also going to lay down a little bit of shadow around the skin tones. This is just any area that might be in a shadow. Like this arm we want to recede into space a little bit, and that arm and under the neck again, but just half. Let's pretend a light sources coming from this angle and this leg that's tucked behind almost completely Shout out great
