Oaxacan Big Cat, Stage 4!

^ Primed shoulder with impressed spiral pattern.


^ Primed to painted.


^ Pulling back to show finished shoulder area. Belly is next!


^ Belly primed...


^ ...and painted.


^ This is the main group of colored pencils I'm using for the Big Cat.


^ First "rib" colored in (includes impressed-line border).


^ Macro on the ribs, showing how shiny Prismacolors get when layered, thanks to their slightly waxy consistency.


^ Ribs colored, back partially primed.


^ Post-It Note takeover!


^ Mostly-painted section, showing a bit of the primed layer left.


^ Fully painted.


^ This is an up-to-date look at the Big Cat.


More progress photos to come soon!

Bonus: find my spelling errors on my watermarks. They're funny. I'll go back and fix them eventually, but it's late. (Also: the lower watermarks on most of these are too faint. Hurm.)

  1. I love watching your process. These are absolutely beautiful. You always had such a wonderful handle on vivid colors for your critters. Can't wait to see the finish!
