A lot of you have asked how I did this piece so I thought I would show you in pictures.
This is the pencil drawing.
First layer of chalk ink: snow and the log.
Second layer of chalk ink: snow detail.
More chalk ink: the logs and sticks in the background.
First layer of chalk ink on the fox.
More chalk ink and detail.
The finished chalk ink fox with all the detail. I then sprayed it with clear spray paint to seal it in. Still no oil added.
The final piece with oils. I let the spray paint set for two weeks before I started painting the oils on top. All the highlights and fine detail the fox are oils. The dried grass, sticks, and additional snow detail is all snow as well.
