Eye of the Tiger

Comments

Really good Malcolm - I bet your arm was aching after this! Pencils take so much time but look really effective when finished. Well done!

Beautiful eye. I am afraid coloured pencils do take a long time and patience. I use them a lot . tip always make sure you have a sharp point. when you first sketch use the coloured pencil for your outlines, this way you don't have hard graphite edges and you can still rub out when necessary well done Malcolm.

Having just started to use coloured pencils I decided to try a simple exercise to try to get the hang of their use. It took me over an hour, just for this eye - the rest of the tiger will have to wait.
