Birdie Branch! (1st digital painting, Painter 8)

Okay, Birdie Branch, technically not a Birdie (named it that when I was still doing the branch lol)…

This is a rough buildup of what I want… The general colour scheme is on the top left, and some details are only roughtly sketched in (seperation of fingers/toes and facial features, and claws) and generally, just imagine this guy with a groomed fur type look =)

This is an example (www.anry.ru) of what I would like his fur to look like

And here he is…

PS. Yes, I need to fix up his position (going to move him down so he’s holding onto the little offset branch and sitting on the main one) and on the teeth! Smerity rings 911/000 in Aus :slight_smile: for a dentist! =)

Nice start. You just need lots of layers to get the fur detail you want. Just be patient and keep adding layer on top of layer. It will get there.
