My Drawing of Bandit

I enjoyed working on the Ampersand Pastelbord (size 8x10"), the surface takes the layers of pencil so easily and quickly. As I mentioned in the last post, I really like the ability to layer light colors over dark. There are so many colors and values in the fur that I like having the ability to keep going back and adding to what I've already drawn. I am using all Prismacolor pencils for this piece and decided on a blue/gray background to compliment the warm tones of Bandit's fur.

Such a cute piece! I love the background too - it looks like he's at the beach.

Oh he is looking great! I am trying to figure out his expression - trying to guess what he was looking at when the reference photo was taken or what he might have been thinking. Humm...
