"You Are Like Me!" in progress 4 - How to make grass
This piece was created as a tutorial for doing grass on green paper. Finally I’m getting to the grass.
Pic 1
I stopped working on the puppy when I got to the feet that have grass blades in front of them. I switched to my green pencils and made the grass blades in front of the feet. And added the shadowed grass which is beneath the puppy, “behind” the raised front paw, and “in front of” the lower belly.

Now I finish the paws and lower belly by filling the appropriate colors and details in between the grass blades I made in step 1.
The bottom picture is a close-up so you can see how I fill in the details in the spaces between the grass blades.
Grass is easy to do with colored pencils.
Each slash with a pencil is a grass blade.
