You sort of try to bridge connections between unconnected parts. You don't have to be too literal, you can suggest it. It's ultimately harmonizing. But one thing can say a lot more than many. And that's what you try to do as you get closer to the final stages of the drawing until every part is singing together.

What do you recommend as the best substrate, or paper/panel, for colored pencil pet portraits?

I use mostly Clairefontaine Pastelmat or Grafix Drafting Film 🥰
