A sketch I am working over today, all in colored pencil so far.
I’ll probably come back through with a layer of liquid acrylic, then some fixative, then more pencil.
I want that fire to be blinding red when all is finished. (background is arrows, and flags)
Since I plan to do some mint greens and sage-type colors as backdrop, I’ve used that to do all my sketching. I will go through at the end with pen and ink and do whatever black linework I think it needs, usually I either do a bold line all around (tattoo styley) or a sculpted line only in areas where I want to beef up contrast without going darker in color tonal values.
I’ll update when it’s finished.
