This happy fellow is a great project to help you learn the exciting medium of colored pencils. He is a good beginner project as it shows you how to render flesh, hair (beard), fur, and clothing (his hat). It has a little bit of everything. He is painted on 8"x10" paper using Prismacolor Pencils. The pencils and paper (Canson Mi-Teintes paper), can be found at Michael's or any art store. The packet includes a line drawing, photo, step-by-step instructions for this packet, as well as general instructions for the use of colored pencils, and a value map.
