New Challenge

I had a blast with the new Colored Pencil Magazine monthly challenge.
8x8" on 9x12" sheet.
Prismacolor and Polychromos pencils on Strathmore toned tan paper.

A big thank you to Sally Ford for sharing her photo.

This month's challenge was a lot of fun. Thank you for such a cute photo.
I didn't have much time, so I knew I had to do some major cropping. But I didn't want to loose the adorable bunny. So I rearranged things around a little.
It's the first time that I worked on the Strathmore toned tan paper. I usually like to use Stonehenge paper with my pencils, which is much thicker, and has a little more tooth. So I was a bit worried. But I must say I was happily surprised to find out that the Strathmore paper was able to hold quite a few layers, and feels pretty sturdy. The erasing was very easy too.
I shall use it again!
