Since my initial sketch worked well for concept and composition, I've started filling in the final colors. I started with the leaves since I'm rather out of practice for drawing and they are the simplest part of the design. I'm coloring right over the previously drawn areas.
I did all of the leaves, including the shadowy branches, at the same time. This gave me a better chance of having them turn out similarly. If I did a portion of the drawing in one sitting and then another later, my technique, pressure or lighting might be different.
The flowering branches will be next, then the birds. Once I have the drawing filled in completely, I can go back and make shading adjustments.
