Face detail of Stage 5 I didn't scan the entire drawing at this stage. More scratching since the last update has built up texture and depth, tones are blended. Highlights here and there, more contrast between his face & the water (although I'll tone down that white edge a bit). - Ranger 4 - Face Detail

First pass of color on Ranger. This will need more scratching to blend, bring up lighter areas and add variation in tones. I also need to work out the lack of contrast between Ranger and the water next to his face. The water is dark enough that I'll render Ranger the way I would a dark subject against a black background. Here's a video of scratching part of his fur, which is the next step after this stage: rumble.com/vs2w66-ranger-scratchboard-drawing-wip.html - Ranger 3 - Face Detail

More scratching on Ranger has softened his fur and blended some of the values. Some highlights scratched into the water has cleaned up the streaky look from when I initially added watercolor. Now Ranger is ready for color!
