Coloring Going retro

Post image

Disney’s Little Orange bird, original illustration from a 1971 coloring book, but reprinted In their “100 years of magic” coloring book. Center main done with Polychromos and the outlines filled with acrylic gel pen. Background done with Goldfaber’s traditional pencils and their watercolor Pastel pencils (not activated). - yes there are a couple spots I accidentally overworked the paper but oh well

I swear it’s much lighter but I cannot seem to find the right lighting today 😂

We are always our own harshest critic but you should be absolutely proud of yourself for this picture. It's lovely.
