Just practice

[snoball]

Been working on this little guy the last couple of days. Just a baby from the Internet. I just wanted to work with colored pencil for a change.

Very cute, love his expression!
Colored pencil is an interesting medium, gave my daughter a set of polychromos about a year ago. If I ask nicely she might let me try them out....

Won't hurt to ask. And thanks.

I am not so certain, she is at "that" age
Timing is everything....
Great colors btw, what kind of pencil/paper did you use?

Hey sno, Your work - marbles, leather, and this child - evidences the potential of a generally underestimated medium. Delightful subject. Who needs words...

Like E.J.H. i would like to know the brand of coloured pencil.

 

[snoball]

Thanks to both of you. The paper I used was just Heavy Art Stock. It is a smooth paper. The pencils I used were Derwent...Graphitint, Inktense, Colorsoft and also Prismacolor Premier.

Wow, I say! That is phenomenal.

 

[snoball]

Thank you Arty.

Snoball ,it's wonderful , yes, the expression, the look is so beautiful, strong, but the coloring, the style you used is great, wonderful work, it reminds me of drawings by the masters that I loved to see and made me fall in love with the drawing. they remind me of those sensations I felt seeing them, in particular I think of Rubens' ones (although I discovered these quite recently actually)

 

[snoball]

Wow, what a review! Thanks Joe.

Nice, good capture!

 

[Nufocus]

Oh well, if this is “just practice” I wonder what a “final result” looks like....

 

[Iain]

One can imagine the absentminded doodles are like Michelangelo's sketches.

 

[snoball]

Thank you ntl, Nufocus and Iain. I appreciate the kind comments.
