Colour Pencil continued

Layering with line - fur study Lion Cub WIP


This is a work in progress that I have been developing with my Wednesday after, noon and Friday evening classes. Building on the layering theory of previous lessons, we have been using line only to express the feeling of fur in a lion cub portrait. This work uses a limited palette of colours - Staedler Mars Karat pencils #16, #49, #72, #59 (Gold Ochre, Ochre, Red Ochre, Blue Green). Detail and tone is enhanced with graphite pencils 2H, HB, F, 2B and 4B.
The work is about 70% completed - as we are moving onto an new project next week I hope to finish this in my own time once my works for my upcoming solo at Tacit  July are finished Opening night is July 24.
