zebra

Thursday, August 17, 2017


I created this zebra piece (more than) a few years ago, but it remains one of my favorite pieces I've done. It wasn't meant to be a huge time-consuming project and took just a few hours to complete, which goes to show that sometimes the most fun works are the simplest ones. 

With this piece, I started out by lightly sketching an outline of the zebra with a pencil. Using a fine tip black sharpie, I then began lightly outlining the shape of the zebra using a stippling technique. The background proved to be an excellent color when it came to making the white colored pencil stripes stand out against the red. As always, I used Prismacolor for this. I was having such a fun time with the stripes that I wanted to have them sort of float off the zebra, which I think ended up creating an interesting effect since it drew even more attention to the pattern of stripes.
