Commission for Fumei

Had a lot of anxiety abut this one before I ever put pencil to paper. Spent all day yesterday studying bird heads, this only caused me more anxiety. Once I made my self sit down and face the blank white paper, it came together very fast. I did some experimenting with a new technique I learned and man I can see the difference! This was done with 2H, and 4B Staedler Lumographs, 6B Graphite stick, 2H General's Charcoal Pencil, and a Soft General's Carbon Sketch Pencil. Eraser Stick, and Kneaded Eraser on Bristol paper... The spots and feather textures were the biggest trouble for me, Fumei being a very cute Snow Leopard Gryphon (Spots and Feathers)... I took some liberties and added a striped scarf to give my self more of a headache and more depth.
