I have been drawing on and off my whole adult life but always wanted to try colored pencils. I have had a set of Prismicolor pencils for years before I took the plunge. I am self taught and have used YouTube and some books to review some techniques and have found that colored pencils are alot like painting in acrylics. This is my cousin's dog, Gracie.  |

Thanks. I intend to present it to them when I go to visit within a couple of months when my cousin is due to have a baby, so they can choose to frame it the way they want.

Pretty impressive Gil, very nice use of color and depth in the fur and grass tones. And you didn't even need to use a static applicator!  |

I have done graphite portraits in the past and I plan to branch out into the colored pencil version soon. I will let you know, Brian.

Yeah Todd, actually I was still building models while doing this. The difference is I can make use of my T.V. time with the wife when I draw. Amazing how much time we waste in front of the tube.
