Ziva Progress

Next installment of Ziva's underpainting.

I'm liking the look of this as a monochromatic piece and have decided to make a print of it before completing the color portrait.

This is almost there, just a wee bit more polish.



Notice what's missing? Ziva's training collar! (See photo reference.)

Much better, don't you think?

Ziva Beginnings

Hold on tight, here we go!

This is a good start on the underpainting, the first step after transferring my drawing to the painting surface. I used Light Umber Prismacolor® pencil on white Rising Stonehenge® paper.

There is still a lot of work to do before this is ready for color, but I wanted you to get a preview of this step.
