Fox part 2


I thought I'd better do the background next. I put a layer of Neocolour ll down then started working in coloured pencil. So far I've done the left hand side, you can see the line where I've got to.

    I can't stop looking at that eye! Beautiful, Gayle! I'm sorry, but I've never heard of Neocolour ll? Is this also coloured penci?

  4. Thank you :), I'm still not happy with the ear though, hopefully once I make it furry it will look better.
    Neocolor ll are made by Caran d'Ache and are sticks of watersoluble pigment. The colours are lightfast and are a quick way of covering a large area. I scribble the colours on and then wet them, then work on top with coloured pencil.

    Thank you. They certainly give a very rich colour.
