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.
ReplyDeleteOh 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...
ReplyDeletehe looks so soft, and the background is perfect!
