Sleepy Red Panda

I think this is the most difficult one I did. I sure stressed over it a lot in the beginning, but once the pencil sketch started to work out, I enjoyed it. After the pencil I used a 005 (the tiniest) Micron to outline it and tried to maintain the soft pencil effect. Then, I went in with paint. I love how the colors blended together, but it was tricky to achieve because I had to make sure that the paint didn’t dry before I’d finished a section or it would have left an unintended line. The face had a bit of a weird mix of paint going on, but the ‘fur’ texture I tried to create isn’t too obvious I think. Heh.

Overall, was fun, but not sure if I would do it again. So much work for such a tiny result!
