| I did another layer, using watercolor pencils to make the gorilla darker and to add more color and texture. Since the gorilla is dark I wanted the under painting to have lots of color and to be rather dark so that the colored pencil work would be lessened considerably. After the watercolor pencil layer dried I started working with prismacolor colored pencil. I started with white on the face and hair/fur and I used black in some areas focusing on the values primarily. I added color as needed using dark brown, canary yellow, scarlet lake, and true blue. But most of the color comes from underneath, from the under painting. |
