Picture of the Day ~ 12.28.15
As I have mentioned elsewhere, I've been reading up on colored pencil techniques. I decided to try some of them out on this page of a MOOSE! Overall, I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. I can see areas I am not quite happy with, but that's partly because I know they are there I'm sure. I feel like I have too much red in the antler on the right. The more I messed with it, the unhappier I became, so I just left it alone eventually. I also think I used strokes that were too big on the face and ended up having to blend it too much so I lost a lot of the "hair/fur" look. I'm pretty happy with how the body turned out. I think the leaves also turned out pretty well. Looking at it again now, I think the cattails could have been a little bit darker.
Overall, I have fun trying new things and MOOSE!
I can't recall if this was out of the Naturescapes book or another animal book I have.
