- "Tale of the Tail" - 4th Scan - Final Drawing
The finished drawing (Sold) 3" x 4.75" on Claybord (white scratchboard) Ink (Pitt Art Markers & India Ink), watercolor, color pencil & scratching. The scratching on this drawing is still quite visible on the original, so decided to call it "scratchboard", but it could also be called "mixed media". Thanks to Erik Bowker for this reference photo of CJ the Sumatran Tiger cub, taken at the Sacramento Zoo. CJ is now a very handsome adult living at the Los Angeles Zoo. You can see two short videos on my IG page, showing the progression of this drawing - click here. - Hanna 7
Scratched to fine tune after adding color. It's lighter, but just wait, I'll add another pass of watercolor, then minimal scratching to fine tune, and the portrait will be finished! I'm in the home stretch....
Check out this video where I added the highlights to her eyes.
And this video that shows scratching previously added color. - Hanna 6
Now with color! This is the first pass of watercolor, next I'll scratch to soften, blend & bring back details.
