Such vivid blue! For some reason this looks like it would be on the cover of a young adult novel.

You're welcome! How long did it take you? It looks like it took forever!

This one took a little over 5 hours to do, a little longer than my usual portait time being about 2 to 3 hours. If I remember correctly, I had just started getting more comfortable with color pencils and getting a lot of good responses from some of my previous single deviations I'd been submitting. I'd gotten a couple of watchers and a few favs here and there, so I felt really good about doing art again! So when I approached this project, I wanted this one to be my "okay, folks check this one out drawing!" You know what I mean? So, in other words I really wanted this one to be a success, so I put a lot into it without (hopefully) making it have that over produced look.

It really makes me happy that you like it!

It definitely does NOT look over-produced. I think the effort really shows without it being too much.

That's great!

This is wonderful! How did you get the jacket to look so smooth? It looks just like velvet. I love all the colors in the hair.

odavis In reply to moorsparrow [2006-08-11 20:56:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!

Cool, it is a velvet jacket! It was diffcult to capture that texture, so thanks for your comment. I basically had to press down really hard on the pencils to get that effect. Although it worked out in the end, it cost me a whole lot of pencils!

odavis In reply to moorsparrow [2006-08-14 04:34:26 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha ha...I guess I am either showing my old age or you didn't understand what I was talking about because I spelled 'Rapidiograph pens' incorrectly! Anyway, Rapidiograph pens are or were (if they are still making them) really cool mechanical pens you could refill and use hundred time over! They came in all different point sizes.

moorsparrow In reply to odavis [2006-08-15 01:39:11 +0000 UTC]

Ooooh, I want some of those! I'm actually using .5 ink size, which is kinda stupid, but it's all I have. I'm going to buy some some larger ones soon though, Waaaaay too much dark not to.

odavis In reply to moorsparrow [2006-08-15 12:16:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you would absolutely love them, if they don't still sell them in store, I am sure eBay or some art Web site is still offering them.

"PPL?" Not sure I know what this means?

But whatever the case it's good that you are putting school at the TOP.
