When you look at these
pieces you will have a hard time believing they were done
using colored pencil. I found a great artist pencil that
produces extremely vibrant, solid color. They allowed
me to play with various color schemes and have immediate,
and extremely pleasing, results. Although my work is still
based on the expressive, but simple, black contour line,
I love the way color adds to the personality of these
pieces. These were VERY fun to make!
The sizes of these pieces are more uniform than my
first drawings due to the fact I Did NOT cut the paper
myself. Size doesn’t...well, lets just say size
wasn’t the issue with these.
And although I had a blast creating these pieces I
will most likely take a break from using my new pencils
for a while. I get so excited that I press way to hard
and now I have a permanent tingle in the tip of my thumb.
Any suggested cure for this??
*colors may not be exact! Differences in monitors and
my lack of scanning expertise cause the VERY COOL and
VIBRANT colors of the paper to vary HOWEVER these particular
pieces scanned VERY NEAR perfect.
