What is your colouring medium?

Haha, it looks like a giant mudcrab.

Female peafowl don't have a fancy tail and are more brown in colour. Technically even the male peacocks' feathers are brown, but their microscopic structure reflects the light in a way that makes it appear blue instead.

I've heard that brown isn't even a true color, just a mishap with light and the way our eyes work, whether that's true or not, I'm unsure.

It looks great.

What is your colouring medium?

Thanks Kai!

Color pencil. The brand I use is Prismacolor. I have two different varieties as well, regular colored pencil, and they also make a harder-leaded colored pencil named Verithin, which functions more like graphite. Those Verithins are really wonderful for achieving more pin-pointed accents that the soft lead can't manage, their application is softer, too.

Otherwise I've been using Copic and Prismacolor liners.

Small update, but a big step.



Haven't had a lot of spare time these last few weeks. I managed to sketch a rough idea of the peacock feathers, it was challenging to replicate the sacred geometry, but once I caught on, it wasn't too hard. I'll probably start on coloring tomorrow, depending on how I feel, it's supposed to be snowing tomorrow.

Greetings!



Progress has been slow, but sure. I'm pleased with the results, first time I've drawn a peacock, it was so so so intimidating before I started. Nothing like the idea of ruining a perfect illustration with the last portion to paralyze your progress, good times.

PS Happy Easter to those that are celebrating.

I have some chores to get at before I can continue, but I hope to have the water filled in by tonight, we'll see.

Also, my buddy and I are in the process of turning this map into a campaign neutral module, so it may not see the finished section for awhile. Many things to flesh out, but I can assure you it will be fun!

So... we cannot see your map finished for a while?
BTW it is wanderful till now.

WOW those details are superb. I love those feathers on the peacock, non wonder you were intimidated!

This is looking excellent Adfor, I've been enjoying watching this one progress.
