Qwertee - Mockingjay Development

So far I have made a rough version of my idea; I am happy with the shape of the bird and the brush I used to draw it gives the piece a nice tone.

Originally I used a light shade of yellow for the background; though this makes the silhouette of the bird stand out, it isn't a good colour to use as a base for fire. So instead I used a tone of red, which allowed me to go over it with lighter colours.

Once I had used the orange and yellow colours, the design started to look a lot better, especially when I added detail with a finer line. However I'm still not entirely happy with it - I think the background could look a lot better with a more detailed, painted look, rather than the squiggly lines I have used here.


I will experiment further with the different brushes provided on Photoshop to see what kind of lines can be made, and if any would suit my design better than this.
