I really enjoyed drawing Lola. Layering the blues and purples into her fur to add more depth and help create the shine on her coat through good contrast was key. Contrast and values are so important because without these artwork looks two dimensional and flat. It's always my main focus regardless of the medium I'm working in =). - - - A3 (11.7" x 16.5") pastel drawing Reference photo: my own | Zara's Pet Portraits & Wildlife Art
