Stepped up to an old project that has been sitting around. Back when I engraved my dragon, I engraved a wolf coloring page, too. It has been sitting around waiting until now.
Finished picture under natural light. This was color pencils on proofgrade draftboard. It is currently getting some acrylic sealer to protect the pencil color, after which I will probably put one or two coats of clear spray paint for the gloss. Sadly, the sealer darkens the MDF a little, too.
For a video of the process showing more of the color steps:
Gorgeous! Here’s a tip for colored things like this: if you use Prismacolor pencils (which are a wax-based pencil) you can go over the solid colored parts with a paper stump dipped in odorless mineral spirits, and it will blend the color to give you a more solid look. Draftboard takes Prismacolor really well and I’ll bet Baltic birch does as well, although I haven’t tried it.
Lacking in prismacolor. Last time I looked at them, I couldn’t afford them. Another thing you can do, which I didn’t try on this one, is dipping the pencil tip in petroleum jelly prior to applying to paper/whatever. It has interesting effects.
