Which Way Did She Go?!

Double Take!

Reptiles Rule

The finished piece


Another pure, 100% colored pencil piece to go with my “Ribbit!” Tree frog posted August 2nd. Had so much fun with the frog, instead of putting away my Polychromos, I allowed the crazy music to play, and let my pencils dance.

Work in progress

This little iguana took about 12 hours after my initial sketch. My materials consisted of a dozen or so Faber-Castell oil based Polychromos colored pencils, and a sheet of 9×12” Canson 120lb mixed media white paper.

A little more shading and he’s finished!

There’s something looking back at him, stage left! What do you suppose it could be?

Until next time ……. be curious

Ribbit Repeat!

Hello!

Little brother of tree frog #1 is now hopping in to wish you happy hump day!

Another pure, 100% colored pencil piece. Polychromos still lying about, needing exercise. These charming frogs are loads of fun.

This little 6×7” finished piece took about 6 hours after my initial sketch. My materials consisted of a dozen or so Faber-Castell oil based Polychromos colored pencils, a sheet of 9×12” Canson 120lb mixed media white paper, and more Three Dog Night tunes with, of course “Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog” still is my favorite.

Smile!

Until next time ……. be curious

Ribbit!

Hello!

Just hopping in to wish you the best day ever!

A pure, 100% colored pencil piece. Sometimes I have to dust off my Polychromos, play some crazy music, and let the joy happen! What an awesome way to calm my mind as the pencils work their magic.

This little 6×7” finished piece took about 8 hours after my initial sketch. My materials consisted of a dozen or so Faber-Castell oil based Polychromos colored pencils, a sheet of 9×12” Canson 120lb mixed media white paper, and hours of Three Dog Night (of course “Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog” was, and still is my favorite).

Hope he makes you smile from ear to ear!

Until next time ……. be curious
