And Day 81, cont.

I found the subject of pea pods irresistible today and had to do this highly resolved drawing. Look for it to become an oil painting, soon. Love the addition of Koh-i-noor woodless colored pencils to my arsenal of art tools! They are fantastic!

Pea Pods, 5x7, colored pencil on paper.

Looks great! Can't wait to see some paint on that.

I might pick up some of those pencils. they look so nice!

I haven't uploaded anything to my blog recently. I have started a drawing though. I'm taking my time at it. No rushing :D I'll try to draw everyday now, just not finish a whole thing necessarily.

Yarska, Thanks!
I fully applaud that! I definitely think the initial challenge of producing a completed work a day for a season helped put us on the right road, but I don't think it's the ideal pace at all to produce art in the long run. How do you feel about posting photos of work in progress?

I don't have a good camera to take pics, so I'd have to scan it in each single time. I guess I could, but it would be a lot better if I had a better scanner.

I'll post WIP pics if I get around to it, but I'm not going to kill myself posting pics :D I'll definitely post the finished product, though.

I think I'll do a week of small, daily pictures every now and then. It's a fun challenge to do a whole picture in a day, but it can be tiresome in the long run.
