I had to work on my rosebud. I wasn't very happy with the spotty background and the lack of sharp edges. I love working with colored pencils because of the incredible detail that can be achieved. I wasn't getting it and it was beginning to frustrate me to no end! So I sharpened my pencils as much as I could and went back to work. I like the new results much better. I'm still working on patience and taking my time, and I can see a difference when I can do it.
Here is the new and improved rosebud! The colors are so much richer and it looks a bit more realistic. I'm so happy with it! I even changed the photo on the profile side. This is an ACEO card, in otherwords...it is 3.5 x 2.5 inches in size. It makes a person a bit squinty drawing that small!
This is my current work in progress. It is a challenge on Wet Canvas...a predominantly white picture, and I can not use any gray! Um...eek! I'm not sure if I'm happy with the way the water is turning out, but I'm no where near finished, so we shall see. Oh...and it is a polar bear! You can see the reference photo behind him, and the latest issue of Redneck World *heehee*The things I have laying on the counter :)
