This is a little hedgehog I made for #colour_collective They post a colour every week and you make an illustration of your choice. I don't often get the chance to join in, and I often struggle with a only colour for a prompt, but this week it was a really nice shade so I thought I'd have a go. Why a hedgehog? Who knows.
I tried to stick to the more limited palettes I've been using lately. I usually make sure I'm happy with the the drawing and then start colouring but I rushed this one and had to go about fixing it as I went. Some people work like this all the time, adapting as they go, and I usually make small changes but for this one I was making separations. Each colour layer was drawn in black so they shapes needed to be right to begin with and they weren't. It's not a huge problem but it meant the process took longer than I wanted. I should've taken my time to begin with.
My top tip, if you work like me, is to make sure you're happy with your drawing. It'll save time later.
