I love the beak, you've really got that shiny feeling there... and the feathers are really pretty, how they blend from blue to green. I wish I had the talent you do with color pencils, I never seem to be able to control the colors. :P Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me his eye looks a bit too small.
Gryphon by @dragelph (Joce Weir)
This lovely Gryphon was a collaboration between two photo references. His head is based off of a white tailed eagle and the coloration is from a black and green tanager.I love the way his beak turned out! that nice kinda matte yet shiny feel!
I didn't fuss too much over feathering and shading, on purpose, because I wanted it to be all about the color and pattern.
The original pic is less tealy and more greeny but my printer does not handle pencil crayon so the scan is of a print. the prints I have made tend to be slightley higher contast so the colours really do pop! Its a nice effect for pencil crayon but doesn't work well for watercolour. LOL!
I have five prints of him up for sale right now! all look the same as the scan ...well better really! lots of depth and they just seem to GLOW! Email me for info about buying. They will be very affordable!
Beautiful colors!
