Description
A portrait of Hasani, my favourite African Painted Dog from Perth Zoo (Western Australia). I'm observing the pack as my Honours project looking at their social behaviour, in particular how they deal with conflict and construct and maintain their dominance hierarchies.
Done with Prismacolors on 260gsm Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper. The whiskers were done with a brilliant technique called the Indentation Method that I found. It's brilliant. I ended up using two different tools; the end of a nail file for the thick whiskers, and the metal tip of my mechanical pencil (lead retracted, of course!) for the thin ones. Go check it out!

Nice drawing and expression!
Fur is not my speciality, but when I have to draw light hair like whiskers, I make this "identation method" with a sharp white pencil (Polychromos from Faber-Castell). The benefit is that there is a slice of colour you can't easily paint over AND you have a dent, too. I often use this technique on feather quills and feather highlights.
