This is NOT a good scan of my picture--my stupid scanner is having software issues. But it's a good enough representation to show the months and months of work that went into this colored pencil piece.
Having to work from a blurry photo, and long nights with aching joints and strained eyes to get this done for a birthday gift were worth it in the end. And though I'm not really all that happy with the male figure, it came out ok.
But that's done and dusted and onto the framers. Now I'm going to take my time and do a piece that I've been wanting to work on just for me.
