^ Refined sketch in my sketchbook (the one Laryssa and Britt got me for my birthday earlier this year!). I worked from photo references from Tony Tilford's The Complete Book of Hummingbirds. This hummer is a mashup of the Sparkling Violet-Ear and Tufted Coquette hummingbirds.
^ Color palette for the Oaxacan Hummingbird, minus black. I chose bolder hues complemented by more vibrant counterparts.
^ Template for the Hummingbird, photocopied from my sketchbook.
^ It's not too obvious, but one photocopy is a 120%; the other 115%.
^ Color palette and color study.
^ Finished color study!
^ Scanned color study.
This Hummingbird is going to be a joy to work on, especially because I've concepted it before starting the final piece.
