The May challenge for colored pencils came out on Wet Canvas and being the nut I am, I decided to give it a whirl, even though all the refernce photos this month are HARD!
So here is the one I picked to do:
Here’s lookin at you by Steve Mac

And here is my version

Not as dark as the original photo, but I actually drew this all by hand,,no tracing at all, yes, I did use a ruler and circular items in some spots...lol
So what do you think?
Cathy, I think this is one of the best drawings you have done.
ReplyDeletevery good Cathy - I'm impressed. I love the pansy pic too. I had one of the tiny Johnny Jump ups under the lilacs but it was gone before I thought of bringing the camera out to take more flower pics....
ReplyDeleteWhat photo editing program(s) do you use? If you click on the yellow orchid in my sidebar it "should" take to you my flower pic blog if you're interested.
Hi Kim, I have Irfanview for photo editing, so am not able to do much, I usually use it just for resizing, cropping or brightness, converting to b/w etc. The pansy photo is hasn't been touched at all, except for cropping! I miss the photo shop I had free for awhile, had lots of fun with that. I have been to your flower page and you have some beautiful photos there!
ReplyDeletethanks- hubby works in an amazing place for taking pics and of course spring in the garden is always fun.
ReplyDeleteI'll look up your program and see what my mentor says about it. I have to pick 3 of mine to get printed-matted and framed for the new house's dining room. I'm debating all the orchids or just using the flowers/plants from my yard here.
Just finished planting the last of the plants for the veggie table garden. Needs more mulch-
enjoy your evening and thanks for answering my questions.
