Peacock's Head - DA mini-challenge by MoonyMina on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Hey everyone!

I had much, much fun with this tutorial!! it's the DA mini-challenge: Draw a Peacock's head. It was really cool to draw, and I felt compelled to color it with my Viviva watercolorsheets, since I had a color that is labelled "peacock blue" well, I added a few more colors, too, of course...

I'm particularly happy with how the beak turned out, shading-wise,... I think it's the first time with watercolors that I can achieve shading the way it comes to me naturally with pencils...

I've done a bit of research and, in Ancient Egypt and at the beginnings of Christianity, among others, the peacock was a symbol of resurrection, resilience and new beginnings... So I dedicate this one to anyone who needs them

Made with:

- Faber Castell Pitt Artist pen

- Viviva watercolorsheets
