I made it for Wrackoo

To start with, I drew the primary figure of the panda. I paid attention to plain figures such as big oval for main part, circle for the head and small ovals for ears and hands/legs. I made the panda sit down because that appeared quite comfortable. The simple sketch provided me with something firm whereby I could build upon.

After I drew a basic sketch, I improved it by adding some specific information. For example, I drew big black eyes with eyeshadow, a little nose and mouth and I also showed that its legs are short and fat while the arms are circular. The addition of each detail saw the emergence of the panda as a transformed figure that could be identified from other simple sketches.

Next I focused on the panda’s fur. I want the body to have a soft fluffy appearance So I used white for most of the fur. I made the limbs, ears and the circles around the eyes black to capture that classic panda look. I also added a slightly tousled texture to the fur as if the panda had just finished playing. This step made the panda look more attractive.

Of course panda wouldn’t be complete without its bamboo. I placed the panda in a lush natural settings surrounding it with tall bamboo stalks. I even made it look like the panda was holding and chewing on some of the bamboo. The background was a mix of green leaves and soft earth tones which made the scene feel authentic and alive.

In order to create an impression of three-dimensionality within the picture, I included some soft lighting that would appear to be coming from the thick leaves of a bamboo tree above. The effect was seen on the fur of the panda as gentle shadow; this also revealed all the details and textures that I had put down!. To enhance this unity & make everything look real I saw to it that light mixed with environment especially bamboo.
