Scramble Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Thank You This is my favourite : It's called Firebird I want to add a background to it as it looks a bit plain by itself, but I just can't think what I've tried just plain colours, but not many of them work...

Scramble Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 I use a program called Corel Painter Essentials 4. Basically, it has many different brush types and it has basically every colour with a mixer and palette too. It creates water colour, oil, pastel, acrylic, pencil, etc. depending on what you choose ...lots of stuff really It just like painting...but on a computer Except you have to use a mouse so I spend ages trying to draw a straight line The beak and eye are oil, the body is pastel and the wing is airbrush I like the idea of a sky Thanks guys.

Snowy Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Looks great! Why not try a pale lilac or blue, it will contrast with the orange of the bird and so make it stand out more? (a bit like a sunset sky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
