Sustained Investigation #12

This is still the same drawing I've been working on for the past few sustained investigations. Soon I will take a break from it because it is taking too long and I need variety. I don't expect to finish this any time in the near future. The progress I make on it is slow and difficult. Throughout this drawing I have seen my colored pencil skills increasing and I am learning more and more about how to use them. If anything, this drawing is certainly a learning experience.

So far I have only used colored pencil and the smallest possible amount of white acrylic paint for highlights in the eyes. Any other material other than colored pencil that I use going forward will probably just be for highlights.

My next step for this project is to keep coloring in the skin. Once I finish that I will do the hair, then clothes, then the snake. I'm still debating on the background so I don't have a solid idea on what it will look like. I am going to do everything else and see what speaks to me the loudest.
