I LOVE the colors you chose! But then again, I'm a sucker for blues anyway.
Lovely and creative drawing!

Thanks Nat, it was fun with the colours on this, not especially realistic this time, but I guess that's okay too

I think it is realistic! Just has a few fantasy elements, that's all.

You're very welcome, Paula!
I'm pretty fine!
There's just so much going on in "real life" that I spend less time on DA
I feel a bit bad, because I hardly ever leave a comment... though I have a look at everything!

How are you doing?

The color on here is dead on! You did a great job with blending the colors too and creating a surreal textured look

I'm currently working on something on hot pressed too... I like it so far the texture is way different. Your drawing turned out very nice I love the colors you've used and the eyes are fantastic!

KW-Scott In reply to pbird12 [2013-01-22 15:47:36 +0000 UTC]

It is so far... I'm kinda stuck on the background right now... I don't like doing the fuzzy out of focus areas in colored pencil. To me they just don't ever look right.

You're so welcome dear

is there much difference between hotpressed and coldpressed paper?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

pbird12 In reply to JK-i-D [2013-01-20 15:13:01 +0000 UTC]

Hi, yeah there really is. Hot pressed is nice and smooth, no bumps or texture but cold pressed has loads, so it looks pretty different

JK-i-D In reply to pbird12 [2013-01-20 15:23:39 +0000 UTC]

oh ok thank you I both a molskine watercolor sketchbook I think its cold pressed hope it doesn't ruin my drawings when I start this sketchbook

pbird12 In reply to JK-i-D [2013-01-20 15:31:12 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure it won't ruin them, cold pressed can make a really interesting texture in a drawing, it has a quality all of it's own
