| I worked on the eye. I shaded it with brown first and then black. I added white to the highlights and then gently went over the highlights with black to push them back a little. I worked on the mane with cream first making a pencil stroke that went out from the body. I then did the same with burnt ochre and a little dark brown. I then highlighted that with cream (using the same out from the body stroke). I used all the colors - white, cream, burnt ochre, dark brown and black to work on the areas of the face and ears and horns. In areas that had texture I used cream to make the fur textures. I used the 2 browns and black in the darkest areas in the places like the ears, horns, nostrils, and on some of the spots. I used true blue on areas around the eye, part of the face, around the back of the nostril, and the back of the head. This is very close to being complete. At this point I would spend time studying it and making minor corrections and additions as needed. |

| We started shading the blue blueberry. Use either Copenhagen blue or denim blue (ultramarine blue will work as well). Shade lightly using the side of the pencil in small circular strokes. Pay attention to the values! I then used pomegranate for the red parts shading lightly using the side of the pencil. I used a stump after each layer to further smooth the pencil. Remember to clean the stump between uses, I use sand paper to clean it. |

| I did a few more layers with the same blue and red. I Shaded lightly using the side of the pencil in small circular strokes. Keep paying attention to the values! I continued using a stump after each layer to further smooth the pencil. I am still working on this blueberry. Worked on the green blueberry to the left I started with yellow chartreuse (lemon yellow will work as well). Shaded lightly on the bottom part. Pay attention to the values! Then using peacock blue I shaded again and then used the stump. Pay attention to the values! Next I used scarlet lake lightly at the top and then used the stump. Remember to clean the stump between uses, I use sand paper to clean it. |
