Artsy Friday: A New Coloring of a Throwback
1 Comment   Artsy Friday, drawing, sketch, sketches
I have quite a few pieces from my "pencil only" days that I'd love to see in color but cringe at the thought of coloring the original. This past weekend I needed some calm zen time (why is a whole other story) so I had the idea to trace the basic outline of a piece I did in 2009 that fell into the color-cringe category and had at it with my copics, so we have a new coloring of a throwback...

Artsy Friday: Bloom, Throwback
2 Comments   Artsy Friday, Uncategorized
I have a throwback for Artsy Friday: Bloom. She's a pencil and watercolor pencil piece I did in 2008. I spiced up some colors with an app but the original is all greyscale. I'm thinking about coloring some of my older pencil pieces but this is one I don't think I'd ever touch. I love her just the way she is. I have a different piece that I did when I went with copics over pencil but lawd...
