Process
- Using the same approach as part 3 – continue to develop smaller forms by adding more complex halftones and lights.
- You can use a smaller brush to add more gradual shifts in darker and lighter tones.
- The smaller brush will also help you to catch more specific textures (such as the strokes of the fur).
- Once all the medium and smaller forms are added, you can leave the piece to dry.
