Just a quick up-close and personal look at the colored pencil stage of my Where the Wild Things Are tribute watercolor painting for TerribleYellowEyes.com.

![horn Here's a horn with some purple pencil and some yellowish pencil. While the outline is dark, it's still just a dark blue. The only black (whether paint or pencil) in the whole piece is in the pupils of the eyes.](https://chadfrye.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/horn.jpg)
![arm And the arm. I have about four different pencil colors at work here. An orange, yellow, pale yellow, and purple.](https://chadfrye.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/arm.jpg)
Thanks for following along on these progress reports about my Wild Thing. One more post to go in which I’ll reveal those terrible yellow eyes!

If I went to art school for a million years, I still would not be able to come close to what you are creating. You are amazing.
