Camouflage ^_^

Today I worked on a new idea for one of my next artwork. This idea runs around a word: camouflage! 

I thought about this word, the sounds of it, the meanings of it and, sure, the animals that use the camouflage to protect their life from predators ^_^ 

I left my imagination free to express itselfe and the result was this:

As usual, I took some pics of the process too, so I can explain (or to try to explain ^_^) how my imagination worked on it.

At first I thought about an animals that usually doesn't use this way to protect himself and I started to sketch a fluffly robin using a simple black pencil. When I started to add the red color on the sketch something nice happened in my mind and my hands started to run on the paper.

Some little red branches and leaves "appearead" on the plumage of the robin! Starting this thing I thought to an autumnal atmosphere, when the leaves have beautiful shades of red and the trees around are almost naked.

So, the fluffy robin became a camo bird with his plumage full of the same red leaves like the branch where he is resting ^_^

I hope you like it ^_^
