Ziggy the Cat

Ziggy the Cat

7 x 5" pastel on paper; commission for a DW/LJ friend. I do these for a bit of extra grocery money.

This is mostly NuPastel and a little bit of Wolff's Carbon Pencil (black tones in the eyes and shading under/over some of the pastel in the fur). The paper is a heavy Strathmore Bristol, coated with acrylic medium that I mix with sienna/umber colors and a bit of pumice powder. It makes a brushy-textured, fine-sandpaper ground that's awesome for drawing on.
