A little boy panda - image 1 - student project

I had so much fun doing this panda. The light is pretty bad, it's raining where I live so I ended up taking a picture in my bathroom with all of the lights open ha ha. That's why it looks yellow. But I was in too much of a hurry to show you, Ms Davies.

It was an great class. I loved seeing your layering process with the ears bleeding into the rest of the head.

Mine went a bit darker but that's alright.

The based colour is Payne's Grey by Sennelier.

I decided to add some Ultramarine Violet (Daniel Smith) when I started to add interest in the first layer. But I sound thought my piece lacked texture. I decided to add Lunar Violet (also Daniel Smith) on the second layers.

Here are the process pictures.

The first layer with Payne's Grey and Ultramarine Violet as an accent.

The second layer on the face with Lunar Violet. I loved sculpting the muzzle.

The second layer on the chest. I went quite dramatic. I like it. I also corrected the ears a bit on that layer.

Adding the eyes and the smile. The smile gave me some trouble but I decided to use all of the tools that I knew to fix it and it came out GREAT! I'm happy.

Finishing the eyes and fiddling.

And there he is again.

(When I started, I thought it was a male. Then after I painted the eyes, I wasn't so sure... maybe it was a female. Then I showed it to a friend and we both came to the conclusion that it was a sweet sensitive little boy. We named him Tommy.)

Thank you again for the great class Ms Davies. I can't believe I painted that!!
