Three Little Pigs

Three Little Pigs  11 x 17  pastel

It's been a while, but I am still in the barnyard. Took a drive the other day and these little pigs ran to greet me when I stepped out of the car to take their photo. They were backlit by the low winter sun which made their ears glow. 

I managed to take some shots during the process and thought I would share.

I used a fat marker to lay out my dark values on a rough coated gatorboard.


Then I just dove into the pig on the left.




Working my way across and starting the figure out the background.
