Art 111: Mystical zebra
Sometimes I love to wander in the world of fantasy and magic because in there I can be who I want to be, I can do what I want to do without limits.
In this 111th art blog, I give you a mystical creature. Although the white and black stripes of the zebra are already fascinating, I still would want to alter the color of the stripes to make it more magical and mystical. To do this, I selected four different colors to make the stripes. These are pink, orange, green and blue green. I used yellow also and made it the dominant color for zebra because I want to layer it with a metallic gold color. In this process, I used three media - the coloring pens, ink and colored pencils. I used ink to trace the outline of my subject, coloring pens are used to do the base color and finally, I layered it with colored pencils. This technique will create more vibrant colors. I hope you will enjoy the drawing process below.
Step 1: Sketching using an ordinary pencil.
**Step 2: Tracing the lines with an inking pen.
Step 3: Coloring the stripes in the body.
Step 4: Coloring the stripes in the head.
Step 5: Coloring the ears, eyes and mouth.
Step 6: Using a yellow coloring pens for the subjects body.
Step 7: Layering using a colored pencils to have vibrant colors.
Step 8: Framing the subject.
Step 9: Coloring the background with a black pen.
Step 10: Adding background elements.. Finish!
