Armadillos are very interesting creatures. Since we are lucky enough to have them live in Texas among us, we are going to study and draw them in our class.

Doing a little research...

After pencil, students worked on emphasizing light pencil lines with dark mArker outline.

Make it darker with Marker

We used blending techniques to make a Texas Wildflower, the Purple Cone Flower.

This is tempera cakes and water

More blending techniques using black and brown for armadillo shell.

Another option of "painting" is to begin filling in the paper with patchy areas of marker.

Fill it up entirely. Then use a wet brush to smear the ink together. I start at the top and work my way down. Let it dry. 

Come back with marker and emphasize the areas around the armadillo  and flowers that blend in to much with background.
