Description
I got to use some heavy art paper for this one, and I was happy to find that it can handle lots of layers of colored pencils. so long as you color lightly for each layer
I did this piece a while back during this recent fall semester (2015), but held back on scanning and digitally editing it because I wanted to finish commissions before focusing on personal arts.
Now that's all done and here's the first original piece of mine!

I'm sure most of you who are familiar with me know that this is Lady (my persona). The rabbit is just a random little bunny.
The was great practice on techniques I wanted to try, like the moss on the trees, the background forest that's faded into grey, and fur.
Lady's inner ear, lips, and the highlights in the image were all fixed up on Manga Studio 5 due to some issues with a white paint... her.. pen thing that I found at Hobby Lobby and wanted to try. It didn't work out as great as I had hoped... :/ (The inner ear was more of an issue with too many layers of darker colors and the paper began to tear).

I quite like how it turned out. Though, sometime in the future, I'm sure I'll look at it and go, "Ew! I can't believe I was this bad!" XD

Tools used: Crayola colored pencils, Sakura micron black inking pens, Painters opaque paint marker (for those highlights I mentioned), Manga Studio 5.
