Description
So, I designed a harpy type lady and named her Xochitl. I dunno what story she's going into, or what her personality is, but I like her design and name too much to just discard her as a oneshot doodle.Also I found a really cool way to color and shade multicolored feathers and it's actually really easy and quick to do. Which makes me insanely happy, because I can use this for other characters.
Rant over. Enjoy the doodle.

I can make a tutorial but really it's just flat colors, 2 layers of shade and 1 layer of shine and it give it the illusion that there's a lot more colors that blend than there really are. I only used 5 colors for the feathers on the flat layers

I have an inking layer and another layer for each flat color. (usually goes from top to bottom: hair, eyes, white, jacket, shirt, pants, skin) and then I have shading and shine layers ... depending on how I shade the picture that time.

Before reading the description, I confused this for a sketch of the Tooth Fairy (only meaner with thinner features). Personality wise, her face seems to suggest a very quiet and contemplative quality. Doesn't talk a lot, but when she does it's likely insightful and wise.

Probably because this drawing was originally going to be the Tooth Fairy, but I gave her wings for arms instead and made her a harpy.
