I’m really excited to reveal this illustration. It’s my glorious return to using colored pencils!

This one took me awhile. I put in about 25 hours getting this done.

I haven’t used color pencils in more than 20 years. When I got back into art last year, I was very nervous and not very confident in my abilities. I put off coloring and blending until just now.

I must say, I’m really pleased with how this one came out. Coloring with pencils was like riding a bike. As soon as I started, techniques came flooding in. I learned a lot putting this one together.

I hope you enjoy peeping this as much as I did creating it

Been in love with creating black light graffiti murals for a hot minute, interested to see more of my work, want to critique this piece, want to make a connection, i'm all (cat) ears! PLURRRR
