Anne, that is just beautiful! Looks like it is ready to jump off the page.How long did this take? I finally broke down and ordered some Derwent Graphitint pencils.

Probably a little over an hour. It's hard to judge because I had to let it dry between layers since I was adding the watercolor.

Jo, Deborah, thanks for the comments.

Great froggy Anne. The photo angle makes an interesting composition, and your drawing makes the most of it. Nice work!
