Description This is my so-called my 2nd colored pencil drawing in a long long time. It's fun to work with color, and I'm happy with the result. Color pencils are fun yet there are aspect which makes the media difficult and inflexible, e.g. wax blooming, not eraser friendly, limited by color choices (depends on your color pencil set), more expensive than graphite drawing. Skill set with graphite pencils helps but couldn't transfer 100%. I do appreciate both graphite and colored pencil more once I learn the differences and challenges.

Despite all those challenges, I still enjoy working with colored pencils. It's a different expression. One more tool in my tool box.

Comments are welcome. Thanks.

Pencil: Prismacolor Colored Pencils
Paper: 9x12 Strathmore 300 Bristol Vellum
Other: kneaded eraser & Scotch tape (for erasing/removal of color)
Duration: 07/14/2012 ~ 07/22/2012

Colored pencil? Wow, the thumbnail made me think it was paint!

Good job on the blurry background! I have trouble with abstract stuff like that.

Thanks for your comment. The abstract is just smooth color transition from one color to the next. Fun to draw.
