I started it with a ballpoint sketch, and colored it with Prismacolor colored pencils. The lightest tones, from the primary light, feet, and reflected light were Cream, Beige, and Cloud Blue. The midtones were mostly in Warm Grey 30% and Cool Grey 50%, with Cool Grey 70% helping out in the areas to be shadowed. The dirt splotches and dusty tone around the legs was with Light and Dark Umber. The secondary light was done with Blue Slate. For the darkest parts, I used additional Cool Grey 70% and Black, and used Ultramarine to hint at the secondary light on the dark parts.

Infantry Mech WIP
This is the "Type 21" (working designation) mech from Mercenary Mechs. While not literally an infantry mech, it is much less flashy, cheaper, and easier to produce than the other big (i.e. main character) mechs. It is meant to be fielded in numbers, and to take losses in place of more valuable forces. In this way, it is an "infantry mech" of a sort.
Medium is colored pencil over a pen outline on Strathmore smooth Bristol. It's more of an experiment than anything else, I wanted to see how the two went together.
