Hare


 Done with water soluble Derwent Sketching pencils.
The only thing I have trouble with when using these lovely pencils is that they can be very hard to sharpen.
Otherwise, it's fun to have a watercolor-like pencil. They come in different wash strengths (light, medium, dark).
I used  a photo from the Web to paint from-source unknown.

Good work
Hares have a mystique that isn't easy to capture.

I have several different brands of watercolor pencils, but none as nice as Derwent. Your hare is incredible. I love how you treated the ears and the eye. Just a beautiful drawing and coloring!

Your hare is wonderful, so realistic! I’ve been working with watercolor pencils too. They are not easy, I’m just learning what they can do. I was so frustrated with using hand sharpeners that I ordered an inexpensive electric sharpener from Amazon ($15.00). It does a good job quickly, so easy!
