Almost done.

One done, now to finish the baby tonight and hang it up for my son. He is ao excited! I will offer prints of this for $20 for an 8x10.

Giraffe progress

Slowly making progress. Been a little tired lately at night between potty training, getting ready for the holidays and homschooling that drawing at night is almost impossible. I start to think that this is looking terrible so I stop and take a step back and realize that it is coming along better than I think.

Colored pencil Giraffes

Giraffes are my oldest son's favorite animal and he has asked me to do this for him. So glad he did, drawings of animals is one of my favorite things to do. This one is fitting for him since he is a mama's boy, okay, all of my boys are, but Jack was the first so this is for him.

Sunflowers are finished!

Finished! The quality of the picture isn't as good as the drawing though. Just hope the person who gets this likes it. I am definitely going to keep working with colored pencil though.

Continuing on with Sunflowers

 The progress on this project is coming along faster than I had expected. And it is turning out nicer as well. I added blue to the background since it is the recipients favorite color and it adds a nice compliment to the orange in the flowers. This is one of my favorite color combinations, love it and cannot wait to finish!

 Detail of the underside of the sunflower, it turned out nicely.

A closer look at the flower arrangement.

I have fallen in love with my colored pencils again! This is yet another gift for someone and I have been hesitant to try using colored pencils since it has been at least 10 years since I last used them and I am glad I did, they are amazing and super easy to work with.

Look at the rich color these pencils produce! And I have had them for 17 years!

 Full view, looks better here than up close while drawing, it is true what they say, take a step back every so often to take a better look.

 Love my Prismacolor pencils

 Jack decided to sit and watch me draw instead of going outside to play. To help he sharpened my pencils for me and he did a great job.
