Awesome!

Hahaha! Thank you all! I was very skeptical that I would still have it in me to work with color... But now I am liking it, my patience is just NOT. Which is sad because I have spent 4 hours on it and I feel like it is too long Still longer to go but I can't stop until it is finished and looking forward to playing around with some colors and doing color splashes in some of my pieces until I am comfortable with entire color portraits. This one is for my Father in Law for father's day I think.... Not sure LOL. I am sure I will have to make one for my husband too

When a person can draw like that, they don't have to "suck it up", they get really good tools. Anything less would be a waste!

I can do stick figures too! And they wouldn't look any different with cheap colored pencils or the most expensive available.

You are so right. I just have a hard time spending money on my "fun" things when I usually put it into the animals or house.

Um, @samssimonsays you could be making money with those "fun things"!

true... Trying to get them to take off has been a struggle. Year three of promoting and pushing myself to improve as well as promote them. It gets disheartening when it feels like all you are doing is spinning your wheels. But I bought loose leaf paper, hope to get the basement area cleaned up enough to get my drafting table soon and my office area put back together (a leaky pipe caused us to move everything to fix it and we haven't put it back together yet.... I dropped the ball on it. Lots of cleaning out the basement to make room to make it livable again with a living room and Tv as well as my office.
