Cock of the Walk - Ken Matsuda Art

 I'm a little obsessed with coloring right now, 

but unafraid of burn out....

too many fabulous artistic, unusual drawings to peak my interest!

You'll understand why I titled this coloring "Cock of the Walk". 

WOW!

You can just TELL that he's struttin' his stuff!

I researched roosters on the internet to get an idea of their coloring. 

I was totally BLOWN AWAY!!!!

The colorful roosters are incredibly stunning birds!

I honestly never knew this about them.

They have bright yellows, orange, red, purples, blues 

and even irridescent emerald greens!

I felt that 'anything goes' with a rooster. 

So, that's what I did.....made Mr. Handsome very colorful!

I did learn something in my coloring of him.

In some areas, I had too many layers of colors

 that were all applied with more than the usual pressure. 

This caused waxy build up. UGH!

But, I've learned & hopefully won't make this mistake in the future. 

Thx for visiting & have a wonderful day!
