Penny, lovely turtle.

Thanks for your comment on mine.

EP, nice sketches. I like the two colors.

Thank you very much, Viv. As a pastel artist yourself, how do you get crisp edges. I find that difficult.

Crisp edges are easy with a pastel pencil. Especially when using PanPastels.

Ricky- nice work. I like the watery look of the colors.
Schuee- He looks good! Especially nice, the play of blue and green in the water. I find more than edges difficult to do with pastels. It's a medium I still find uncomfortable to work with and so admire it when done by others. In fact pastel paintings often amaze me, especially since I find them so difficult.
eyepaint- this is really cool how you lay this out to all work together in your sketchbook. I bet it's really nice to flip through your pages. I like how you vary the background patterns. Each looks interestingly different and yet the whole is cohesive. I particularly like the bubbly/circle background.

Nice job Lesley. I just recently got a small set of inktense but I haven't done a lot with them. You have inspired to experiment some more with them.

Hello Everyone,
The modem on my computer has ceased to function !
I tried to reason with it but to no avail !

A new system will be installed on Sunday - hopefully.
I’ll be able to post my drawing then.

Everyone’s drawings look great !

Cheers,
Patricia

I hope you get your computer troubles straightened out. And not just because I look forward to seeing your drawing, though I do.
