I then used a fine brush to apply a watery white in a stippled effect (kind of like a pointillist technique). <br /><br />I concentrated the overlapping white dots on the upper surfaces - on the haunches, neck and breast, spreading them out a little on the top of the legs. I then applied another diluted black ink wash, then finished with just a few more watery white dots to highlight. <br /><br />The application of the washes between layers of dots gives it a more blended look - like a real dappled grey! Hope this helps.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-43421183174047548262010-09-19T10:17:45.144+10:002010-09-19T10:17:45.144+10:00Really nicely done!
