Raccoon

Here I have done an ink drawing of the Raccoon in Sepia India ink with a technical pen. I also used an ink wash on the background. (Remember, the original is 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches)

Here I have begun to layer in colored pencil, burnishing (a technique of rubbing the colored pencil to blend it) as I go. (Remember, the original is 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches)

More layers of colored pencil...

 

Finished painting. I scratch through some layers of pencil to highlight white hairs and I also sometimes add white Acrylic to strengthen the piece. (Actual size is 3.5 x 2.5”)
