Sly Cooper mixed media painting commission

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Sorry for disappearing for so long, dearies. I have three jobs now, on top of attempting to run my art studio from home, PLUS house hold stuff, so I'm not as active here on DA as I used to be. If you really want to contact me, PLEASE do NOT do it through here. Since I don't log on to my DA account on my phone ( at ALL ), I won't know if you're trying to get in touch with me.

I'm more active on my art tumblr and Facebook accounts:

Back to the painting, though.


I did record the entire painting stage of this piece, so go check it over on my Youtube channel!

Sly was done as a commission order for a very awesome person. A touch on the belated side of things, but hey, this bug has three jobs besides the role of artist, sooooo... recorded and worked on over the course of several days and nights, between work shifts and household things.

As usual, I can't, and won't, use just one medium in my paintings, because where's the fun in that, so here's a list of everything I used in this piece:

~8.5 x 11 inch cardstock
~various sketching pencils
~white eraser
~Prismacolor black brush marker
~Prismacolor markers
~Copic markers
~white gel pen
~white craft acrylic paint
~purple craft acrylic paint
~blue craft acrylic paint
~various colored pencils
~black grease pencil
~Speedball Super Black india ink
~Number 2 round Raphael Kolinsky sable brush
~Daler Rowney gold ink
~Speedball 512 inking nib
~my faaaaavorite wooden pen handle
~a toothbrush
~blue painters tape for blocking ( because liquid frisket and I are at war with each other, and I always lose. I use blue painters tape that's de-stickied on my jeans. Works for me!)
