Congratulations on your win. It's beautiful and a clever creation. I I've the colours and form. Sorry I can't help with how to keep yoyr colours as you wish. Digital art is a bit of a mystery. But I am open to learning it. It's on my to do list.

Oh how you have filled my heart with JOY! Thank you ever so much for the awesome stars. Brenda...Go for your bucket list, play digitallly! I have created for years with water color and India ink illustration. 3 years ago I wanted to play and create digitally. I never have taken a class, fully self taught... one can spend big bucks on programs, I wanted to create only with free apps. I use my iPhone 11 and my 11 year old iPad. If I like the app I keep it and if not my finger deletes it. Easy~Peasy! Funny thing is my mistakes have become my victory?s as we learn from our mistakes not our success. I just wish FAR had a larger platform to upload art . They only accept a work that is 1.59mb or smaller. If a creation has bold colors one must resize it. That is what I am trying to figure out. Reduction without lose to clarity or color. One day I sure will conquer! Thank you for making my day.
May you be Blessed with Joy and Laughter my FAR Friend~ my grateful heart, Cindy Sue

I got all your tips logged.... I am got a good with IT so it's,a time to fit in thing but I will give it a go. With regard to resizing I find the best routine I have is To go into PIXLR (free version I have on my Samsung phone) this allows you to auto fix (colour, light etc) I save the image then go into Photoshop Express (free version software also on my mobile) this has options to layer colours, affects,or intensify then when you save it automatically saves into an a accepted Fanart size. These two programmes are free and can be downloaded to lap tops, tablets and pcs

Oh wow Cindy this is beautiful! I really love painting birds and this one reminds me why! The colors and textures are spot on as is the body language. Really creative work with the highlights and black background, the contrasts are so nice! Really beautiful work here, I am looking forward to more of your bird art!

Quite a bold and striking image posted here! Your fine and full composition offers us a good and enjoyable view of your parrot creation. Those colours and tones certainly stand out! Sorry, I cannot help with your technical problems. Nicely done!
