COLOR PENCIL DRAWING

"Cold Morning with Tommy" Drawing















Original photo

I have worked all week for the Post Office and have not had anytime to draw. The drawing I have been working on is of my Grandmother on the beach in the 1920's. It still sits on my desk. It will take about 20-30 drawing hours to finish, because I am placing all the background in it. So far it is turning out great. Can not wait to show you all.

So I am posting a drawing I did years ago. This is a color pencil portrait I did of my son. I have not drawn in color pencil in a long time, but I thought this one turned out ok. Someday I will venture back into using color pencil, but I will have to practice more and find the time. Color pencil takes twice as long as graphite/charcoal pencil.
I am planning on drawing some animals soon. I have one of my mom's lab Albert to try out. Also, I am thinking of drawing minnie portraits for a smaller price. Maybe more of a scetch and not so much detail. Just a thought I am thinking over. I have also registered a domain name. http://www.justusportraits.com/ . No website yet. I was thinking maybe I don't need a website, just use this blog. I can set this domain name to this blog if I want. What do you think? I can use any suggesting.
