Below you can check out the different phases of this project.
Started of with searsching for references of a puffin bird. The walking puffin bird looked so cute and more interesting to paint, so that had to be it.
Next I added basic coloring and shading.
Next step was to work out the details of the puffin bird. Little lighting effects, hairs and such.
Almost finished here... I thought it would be nicest if he'd walk on the shore at a sunset scenery. As you see I set up basic light coloring and composition here of the surroundings. The final result is shown on top! Hope you enjoy.
