In an effort to try to lighten this piece, I start the back feathers today. I think that after I add shading to the whole piece it will all come together properly. At the moment the light is looking a little odd.
This weeks colours for The Summer of Color are 2 purples and a yellow and this is what I did with them. Not my favorite colours so really racked my brain trying to think how I could use them and which bird to use. Decided to go with a juvenile Golden Eagle since I don't have any photos of a purple bird :p I think I prefer the black background, the yellow seems to stand out more against it. Which do you prefer?
Not sure if that comment went through or not - but I said, this is looking good. I don't see any oddity. I like the new header too.
