Macaws FINISHED
Hi guys  It has been a while. Did ya miss me?  
Hope you don't mind suffering through yet another WIP. They keep me motivated and accountable to you guys.
I know you will recognize this RIL image of the macaws by dcannatella that debro drew recently. Well thought I would have a go at it.
It will be about 30X30 inches when done and of course I am using FC Polys on Stonehenge paper.

Re: Macaws WIP
Very nice start I'm curious, did you underpaint the red with yellow to make the color so rich? |
