Drawing a chickadee was an absolute delight! While it appears mainly black and white at first glance, there’s a hidden spectrum of colors within. Look closely, and you’ll discover blues, greys, and purples within the black, as well as blues, yellows, and greys within the whites. Adding these subtle hues to your black-and-white artwork brings depth and realism. So, next time you encounter a monochrome creature, observe closely—you might be surprised by the vibrant palette hiding in plain sight!
