A second colored version. It’s not perfect, but I like it much better than my previous rainbowsplosion. Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback, it really helped me figure out what to do with this thing.

I’m trying to work out the style of an owlry for another drawing. This one’s for a friend, so expect more updates as I work through it! Tomorrow, I’ll try and plan out perspective.
I don’t want to be one of those people that blames their crappy equipment, but man, my scanner did not like these. I gave up and just took a photograph instead. Today I learned a valuable lesson: watercolor is nothing like ink pens.
