Technicolor Dream Pandas

I am experimenting with a looser style and tying to use more layers and mixed colors.  The "black" panda fur was not a tube black, but a mix of blue, red and orange (you can see some purples creeping through).  The cobalt teal created nice highlights to round out the white fur. 

This is the first picture scanned with my new large format scanner (goes to ~11x17 inches).  Most of my pictures are 9x12 and they do not fit on a normal letter size scanner.  Looking at the scanning bed, I am excited to try it for the larger 12x16 as well.
