Sketch for 1/14/2015 and Boot Kamp Assignment 3

Using the Lamy Safari to sketch this toy fox was a great way to practice on textures. In the future I want to try this exercise with permanent ink and colored washes.

Paper: Stirman-Birn Alpha Series Sketchbook 4"x6"

Media: Higgins Fountain Pen India Ink (non-waterproof) and Lamy Safari (extra-fine nib)

Assignment 3 from Boot Kamp involved using colored pencils on a watercolor wash. I sorted through a bag of clementines. Four that had seen better days went to the chickens; the others I sketched.

Note: Using somewhat large amounts of water for the wash caused some buckling.
