Here you can see how this textured paper picks up the colour from the pencils
and here's the second layer of the same colour
Because the paper has texture, the colour from the pencils doesn't get right into the grooves, unless forced. I'm not going to force it into every valley, because I like the lighter sections. I think it helps give character.

ReplyDeleteLooking great, Pat! I just bought a set of those inktense pencils since you made them sound so fun! (Besides, Michael's had a great sale and since I was buying a stack of watercolor paper, why not?)
ReplyDeleteLove the mustard color on the tiger!

Very nice, I am enjoying watching your process.
ReplyDeleteI think by leaving some areas not forced-filled in; it makes his coat look more detailed, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYou'll enjoy them, Sheryl :) xx
ReplyDeletethanks, Maria xx
ReplyDeleteI think it gives the coat more depth, Tonya. That's what I'm sticking to, anyhow :lol:
