Thanks for continuing to add new drawings and contribute to the Animal Kingdom group. I am very interested in the techniques you have used to for these drawings. How do you achieve the color tint and detail of shading/blending that you have here and in some of the other drawings? Are these pencil drawings or are you using some sort of image modification software starting from a basic pencil drawing?

It looks like the artist used liquid applied to the pencil to get the really soft areas, it looks smoother than what you would get from just different pressures being applied to make the gradient.
