Theory



In theory, the teacher thought it would be an OK idea to let the kids bring their pets to school.



In theory, i thought this illustration would turn out better than it did. I'm still messing around with different media and the order of the media. I started this one with a lame composition so it was doomed from the get go. I also started with the colored pencils.



Next, I added a layer of paint. In theory this should have worked out OK.

Finally, I tried a new pen. In the past i have worked with regular old ball points. i like them but they don't get rich enough. This time I tried using pen and ink. The real thing were you have to dip the pen in the ink every 2 seconds.



In theory this should have worked out pretty well but I was too uptight about the pen. Plus I got bored dipping it all the time. so finally I grabbed my trusty ball point. I might need to give the pen thing another chance though.

this is the final illustration.
