"Halen" Colored pencil by Charlotte Yealey

8x11
Colored Pencil
I am always try to challenge myself so I drew this on Canson black illustration board. When starting with black, it make you think differently then when you start with white. It was fun and I have decided to do more. Maybe I should call them my "In the dark" series.

Nicely done! Never used colored pencil before but I imagine it is especially challenging. Very nice!

Thanks, Michael and Thom for your comments. Colored Pencil has always been my favorite medium and I like trying different ways to use them.

An amazing animal portraiti-t conveys everything a portrait should-excellent likeness, mood, setting-craftsmanship.
