Creating 'King Crow'

The creation of my 'King Crow' drawing!

Later on, I added a little gold leaf to the background and to his crown to finish him up.

This video shows the basics of my process. I always start with a simple but accurate pencil drawing, and usually work dark to light. At the end, I use scratchboard tools to lift away highlights and add more detail. Enjoy!

The original drawing is available in my shop, as well as signed prints.
