Decided to start my Cougar/ Mountain Lion on Arches 10 x 14 CP, 140# paper. Started by transfuring my image on the paper, using the Light Box method to try and get the best image possible, with my current skills. After using a needed eraser to lighten all graphite marks, wet my paper front ant back, then stapled it to a sheet of Foam Board, for stretching. Will leave this to dry, then apply Masking fluid on the whiskers, etc.

Trying to plan it out, but haven't made a color chart yet.

Using the same basic colors for fur and shading, used in the Winston Portrait. Seems to be a good way to go. Getting the base colors and under-painting work down.
