Crimson Wings

It's time for a new challenge over at Aurora Wings, with Halloween fast approaching our theme is BLACK, ORANGE & ONE OTHER COLOUR.

Halloween is still not that big in the UK, so I decided to use a non-Halloween image, but with the Halloween colour palette adding RED as my extra colour.

I have wanted to colour this image for a while, but admit to being a little intimidated, it is the stunning Crimson wings.



I used mostly Copics to colour this beauty but also added a little more detail using Prisma Pencils.



I had a bit of a disaster with the background, it was all meant to merge together, but it didn't work how I pictured it, never mind, I am still happy with the overall outcome.

I matted onto black and orange yardstick and added a few flowers and crystals, to keep the image as the main focus.

I look forward to visiting you all, to see your interpretations of this theme.
