Dawn the Duck

So I've started using a new medium - colored pencils. Painting takes a lot of setup and cleanup to the point that it keeps me from painting more often.

I found this duck in a Dawn Dish Soap ad in a magazine. This is my first colored pencil foray and I really like it. I'll have to experiment with the different softness of pencils to get the right depth of shading.

Making something fuzzy is actually really hard. Too many lines and it can look harsh, not enough lines and there won't be any depth to it. I'm sure there is a technique to creating fuzz with pencils.
