I am Number 4

Every year in May, Bonanza has  Bengal Art contest. I've participated in it every year, trying to make them a little different each time. Each year I've done better in the line-up (7th, 6th, 3rd), and this year... hopefully first. But with the rush of AP classes and other second-semester-senior distractions, the deadline caught me off-guard. So I had 10 days to finish this. I have two art classes (one is technically Photography, but I still worked on it during that time), which means I had approximately strangely dispersed 16 hours to finish this thing. Which, factoring in how I typically work on something and the weeks I spend on projects... was a crunch.

This was my reference.

Tuesday (3rd period)
Charcoal cheat, tracing from the projector

Wednesday (3rd period)
Chalk Pastel, basic coloring

Wednesday (6th period)
Black, ear work, specified shading

Thursday
Fur detail work
Friday
Refining the stripes, more detail work, eyes (aren't they pretty?)

Monday
Refining of nose shading/texture and stuff.
Tuesday
Black


Wednesday. (3rd period)
Black on the face
Wednesday (6th period)
Black above the nose and Whiskers on the other side. coloring on the chest.
(AP test on Thurday...)
Friday
Signed, sealed, delivered. I'm yours.

And just for fun, let's see that reference again.
