Hi! I hope this is the right place to post this question..

I made a owl on myself, its a owl that i made becouse i have to train in packing colors. I choose to make a owl becouse my son loves owls:)
Its a design i found on google but i want to make it more fantasy coloured with awesome colours!

So now i wonder if anyone here have any suggestions on what colours to choose before i shade and colour it, i also made a picture of how i will shade and if there is any better way to lay out the shading i will gratefully get advice on how to do different :icon_smile:

Here is a pic of how the tattoo is so far ( some lines i made better after the picture was taken) :








And here is a picture of the owls design and example of how i was thinking of shading it!

And one picture that is no colour or shading in it :

Personally I dont think the design is very good, But its too late for that lol
Look at Tony Ciavarro's works for inspiration and ideas on how to colour.
