OtGW White Peacock [Speed-Paint]

 SPEED-PAINT VIDEO HERE   

So I’ve just competed watching the amazing mini-series “Over the Garden Wall”, and of course, me being me, I was keen on the Peacocks shown roaming Quincy Endicott’s manor in episode 5. I especially like the stylish way the white peacock was coloured. So I took it upon myself to draw a peacock using that colour scheme. If I only knew what I was letting myself in for.

I’ve known from my experience that peacocks are notoriously hard to draw and having very complicated anatomy. So, I should have known that the colouring process would be so difficult and tedious. Whether it be the details and then having to do so much for the eye-spots. As you can read in the video description, for such a simple piece, this took the longest to complete in one go! Hence why I decided against a background, I was just worn out. That and I felt I should draw more emphasis on the peacock itself. But thank god I decided to use the "white" peacock as reference. A normal coloured would have been an even bigger pain! XD I think it’s kind of inevitable that I’ll be doing different coloured ones in the future. I’m the dozy bugger whose decided to based her comic series around them! With different characters requiring different colour schemes and features! What the fuck have I gotten myself into?!?! LOL!

But y’know, for these awesome birds, it’s worth it. I’m so glad that Ive finally done a full body piece and I only hope to do better from here.

Hope you all like it!

PS. It also helps that I could hear the neighbouring farms peacock calling while I was doing this. ^^
