Thanks. That effect is one that colored pencil is peculiarly able to capture. Glad you liked it. Still love your username.

I love how you conveyed the glossy smoothness of the lips and the cherry....with colored pencils too.
That is not that easy! My hats off to you.

Peace.

Great job capturing the glossiness!
Colored pencils can be a bit of a pain to work with sometimes.
This is very rich looking.

Yeah, when body parts get that big, they are almost abstract, aren't they? Thanks for the comment!
