Day 11: Will Squeak for Food

Will Squeak for Food

What does a lab mouse do when he’s out of work? He would no doubt grab any cardboard handy to advertise his talents.

I forgot how relaxing, if a little time consuming, Prisma Color pencils were. Normally I choose Canson paper, which can be a challenging surface since it has a pronounced tooth. However, Strathmore’s toned tan sketch paper is so smooth that it is not unlike trying to draw on hot pressed Crescent illustration board, but with even less pigment grabbing surface. I wonder if spraying it first with workable fixative would help?

Anyway, this image would probably be more convincing if the mouse were drawn from a different perspective. Tomorrow’s project will probably be dedicated to developing this concept further.
