Started this Sunday and worked on it some last night and today. Also have another snowman well on the way. These ornaments won't be floating when I'm finished. I shade in pencil first then add color pencil and shade a bit more with those. I go ahead and color the ball as I finish to avoid pencil smears. These are fairly large, each is around four inches across, will be an 8x10. Hopefully finish it tonight to take tomorrow to my friend's open house event. 
8x10 graphite and color pencilI know, you've seen one snowman, you've seen them all....but all are a little different, no two alike. The detail and color doesn't show up real well. I gave my previous Alabama snowman to my future daughter-in-law and her family as a little gift for the new house they just moved into so I had to get another ready for tomorrow's event. Sorry, I haven't been around to everyone....been trying to catch up on laundry and draw after being away with the hubs, had a good time. Promise to catch up soon. Keep your fingers crossed for me on Wednesday!!!!
Wow.. you sure can get these done fast. Looking good..I hope you have success tomorrow. Glad you made it away with the hubs this time. Keep us posted on the open house event.
ReplyDeleteYou are cranking them out. Nothing like a deadline to keep one busy. Good job. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments are gorgeous as is the snowman. Hope all went well!
ReplyDeleteIt must be really difficult to sketch such a perfect circle...they have a lot of realism.
