Colored Pencil Demonstration 121

tooth and allow me to add more layers, brightness and contrast.

STAGE 9 BAT CORNER

Some areas may break out of the picture border to add a more three-

dimensional effect.

This is Floyd, one of many desert tortoises I found living

happily at a campground in Lone Pine, California.
