How do you do that?

Since this is a sanded surface, I am able to work dark to light. I do one section at a time to near completion with a *very* light hand to allow as many layers of color to build up as possible. I also only draw with tight circles rather than long strokes of the pencil.

If you're interested, I post photos of my drawing as I work on them on my blog. For this drawing, they start here: [link]

what exactly is colourfix paper?

Its made by a company called Art Spectrum, and its hot press watercolor paper coated with a gritty, colored primer.

Heres a link to the paper: [link]
And here is the primer if you were inclined to use it on a different sub-surface: [link]

Thanks Brian! I need to recover from this one before I attempt anything else in this vein - that basket nearly killed me with its repetitiveness, hehe. But yeah, definitely will be revisiting this sort of thing in the very near future.

Well, I could certainly understand, I have a limited appetite for detail myself, I am just too impatient! My utmost complements on this though, you really hit on something here!
