Herebs a new one

[Great Taste AND Less Filling! (F_U_N_G_U_S)]

In an effort to expand my boundaries (and not my waistline), I have begun to delve into other mediums. I feel you can't truly reach new levels in your chosen medium, unless you expand your understanding of other mediums, so I decided to try my hand at colored pencils. I am also working on a pastel and c.p. image currently. So this is my first real c.p. image. I know the proportions are off (as in "his chest would go right into his hips"), but this was mainly for the colored pencil technique. I sketched the image very quickly. <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/messages/19/125.jpg" ALT="cp1">

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

People? what're those? :Þ <BR> <BR>thanks for the compliments all. I'm actually working on a pastel and colored pencil piece right now :]

[Stefan (Auric)]

Wow!! Amazing!! I wished I could do that... :-)

[Rick Santillo (Rjs)]

Well, my thought was this... <BR>Draw portraits of people for cash.

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

He's onta somethin. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> There's money to be made in portraiture. Heck, I do well in painting people's horses. You should seriously look into commission work. Even if you offer a service to "immortalize" them as their favorite action hero. I bet that would go over well!!!

I know the proportions are off (as in "his chest would go right into his hips")...... <BR> <BR>Nahhh...he is just abdominally challenged. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> But the work is definately good....ther are some tecniques that can also be used...involving blending with alcohol I believe...if I can find the book that it is explained in, and you want the info, I can get it to ya. <BR> <BR>Maurine

There's also colorless blender markers than can be bought for use in blending colored pencils. I never used to be able to find 'em much, but I see Staples/Office Depot now carries them in their arts section. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">
