This post will be updated with the progress on the making of it!

1- Sketch: I'm not exactly accustomed to draw bird characters so getting it right the 1st time is not so much my style lol. But this sketch is useful to figure out the proper pose!
2- Lineart: The resolution here is much smaller than usual so lines are going to be naturally thicker, even using a smaller size brush
3- Flat colors: Then all the colors needed fo the character design
4- Shading + Linecolor: Then the shadows and highlights done on different layers.
5- Background: Added a simple sky background with some gradients and the watercolor brush for the clouds
6- Light effects: Then added an extra gradient for the sunlight effect and a little transparent frame for the icon ^^
