Haven't finished the hair yet

[silverthorne]

But here's my attempt at using water color pencils.

Obviously, I got frustrated enough to resort to the familiarity of regular colored pencils for the beads, lips, and eyes. :P

I'm...not sure what I think of it.

Also, I did the beads last week, when I really couldn't see. The highlights will be added with the hair. When I feel brave enough to break into the gouche set.

Cold press, 1...50? weight. in a pad. I'll give the other a try when my budget is a little more stable and not bring eaten up by the stupid eyedrops (seven dollars for a box that lasts only two days if I'm following doctor's instructions, and since it's over the counter stuff, my insurance won't cover it. :/).

Hee. Another two things to put aside on my 'want the art' list.

I tend to stick with stuff in pencil form (including my pastels) for the very simple reason that I'm 1) messy and 2) usally reduced to using a lap-table when I work. The less stuff I have to chase around and make room for and clean up after, the better.

If I didn't toss boxes, I'd be the arch typical 'starving artist'. :)
