Zebra Colored Pencil-WIP #1

This is a couple of hours worth of work.

Doesn't look like much, right?

Colored Pencil is a S-L-O-W medium, especially for beginners!

I placed a layer of white in the white stripes for most of

the right zebra, and then started with a layer of 

Indigo Blue on the black stripes.

Blue, you say?

In order to achieve rich black in cp,

layering colors is the answer.

I will start with a layer of Indigo Blue,

then I will use Dark Green, Black Grape and then Tuscan Red.

These are all Prismacolor pencils.

HOPEFULLY this will work to create a nice black.

I am concentrating on finding all the variations in value

in each stripe, which is why it is going to take me about 10 years

to finish this!
