This was a quick illustration from 2005, based on the Neverending Story novel. It's from the second part, where Grogramon is running across the Goab desert. Each time he sets his feet on a new color, his whole body picks up that color. I wanted to show him in a transitional state here.
This is Prismacolor pencil on pastel paper. I was experimenting with this textured paper for a bit, but didn't like it all that much. It took a lot more effort to get full color coverage, and you can see that the blending is pretty rough.
