Build up the tones on top of one another until the correct density has been achieved. The wings are comprised of 2 colours: a Naples Yellow on the feathers and a Brown on the rest of the wing. Once the body has been finished lay in the wings. Once all of the feathers are in, lay more colour into each feather if it needs it. Make sure you follow the form of the Humming Bird. Top coating The first step in the detailing stage is to lay on the feathers with a B Pencil. To keep a sharp point you can use a sheet of sandpaper to fashion the tip. One technique that is constantly used is to lay a coat of White pencil over the top of a colour, this softens the colour and mutes it slightly making it more realistic. Refer to the reference image to see where to put the colours.
The colours used are Light Blue, Lemon Yellow, Turquoise, and Light Green. Next apply a thin coat of colour onto the bird’s body. 2 Under colouring the bird In this step we first add blue around the eye and then colour the iris Brown. Carefully remove tape and redraw in the beak, outline of the bird and the eye. Retrace the line work very lightly with a HB pencil. To transfer the image, shade the back side with a 6B pencil, flip the image and tape it onto a sheet of 180 gsm watercolour paper at A3 sizing. When transferring the image don’t press too hard or you will create an indentation on the paper. For this reason watercolour paper is ideal. This project is done with colour pencils, and as they are quite hard on the paper it is good to use a robust stock.
