Cell Shading - Mercedes Thompson

 I was really excited to learn about Cell Shading, the process used to colour comics and illustrated books. Because I want to illustrate children's books this is a very important skill for me to develop.

I had fun posing for the sketch I used as a starting point for this exercise. I took off some weight (I am NOT going to say how much) and modified the facial features, using a book cover featuring this character as a reference. 

Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson is the main character is a series written by Patricia Briggs. She is an auto mechanic and a coyote shape-shifter who tends to get into scrapes with supernatural creatures.
