I wanted to share the speed draw where I shade in the eyes of the dog. You'll see the steps I take and then I'll start to shade in more detail on the snout.

You'll also see me take a photo of the drawing, which is how I compare what has been done to what needs to be done. Taking a photo helps me to see the progress with fresh eyes so I can make more adjustments to the drawing. At another point, I lift up the drawing to look at it from another angle, which helps me to see it new again also.

Just a hint of blue on the eggs and a hint of brown on the nest. Here is a little bit of how I draw, when I'm working on my own artwork. I layer really lightly and slowly, so building up a drawing takes time. This one probably took me about 3 hours total (but to be honest, I don't usually time my drawings, because it all takes so long it'd be depressing!). Sorry for the bad sound quality, I just recorded this one at my work studio with my phone camera, so it isn't as high a quality as my regular videos.

I'm using a Mitsu-bishi Hi Uni 2B and HB graphite pencil and a Caran D'ache Luminescence Turquoise Blue colored pencil. Drawn to a song I love and can listen to 800 times in a row, Station, by Lapsley.
