Putin is an old snake | Children's Illustration

The continuing heinous actions of Putin and his country have inspired me to paint yet another depiction of his nature and of an unbroken Ukraine. 

Considering that the Russian Empire loves to rewrite history and present distorted facts to its children in schools, I decided to stylize this illustration as a children's book.

Color matching is always tricky, but I give myself a lot of different options to choose from thanks to these quick, raw color sketches.

Another source of inspiration and help in choosing different color combinations is the Color Balance and Hue-Saturation-Brightness tools in Procreate in the Adjustments section.
