The final colours and a quick little edit on my laptop of the sketches posted previously.
I am quite happy about the outcome of this portrait as I tried to layer the same colours of fibre-tipped colour pens to create shadows. I think that the style of blending the effect on the right has given the image deeper and richer colours. With the feathers I kept them lightly shaded with a black biro so that they didn't take away too much from the image.
