Drawing a Lazy Panda with Charcoal

Everyone likes pandas, they're so lovely!

1. Start with a sketch using a black pastel pencil:

2. Then add tone, start with the darkest parts and touch them with fingers to smudge a little:

3. Proceed to draw the background and other details. Compare the tone level in different parts of the image, see that the balance of light and dark was true to life.

4. Make the eyes by slightly touching the dark area with the eraser. Make the ear darker inside, draw the feet and paws, add strokes to the log.

5. Make a smile, highlight the nose, add shades on the head to shape it. Perfect the log. Ready!
