Colored Pencil (Sept./Oct. 2013)

Colored pencil on a dark surface.  Start with a white pencil and do a 'value study' shading in the light areas.  Then start layering color.  On the comb I added canary yellow and then pomegranate as well as a tiny bit of  indigo.  I then used scarlet lake and then white again.  This is at the very beginning.  Finish the value study part before adding color.
