So sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been so busy with school, I just haven't had much time to work on any colored pencil artwork. I made it a point to set homework aside to post something today.
I am putting school work aside on Friday, October the 26th and maybe possibly the 27th to throw out some ACEO and other sketches. So if you are interested in checking the sketchfest out and purchasing any of my sketches check it out here http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/index.php

If you search for colored pencil tutorials or drawings at YouTube, you will find some amazing helpful informative videos to help you grow as an artist. I think it is important to see how other artists work with the medium you like to work in. You might discover helpful tips, ideas, and techniques you never knew about.

Take Care and God Bless!

I can relate to your comment about having a hard time talking to people, I think its because I can convey more in a drawing than I can verbally. If I am relaxed around people, no problem; with unfamiliar people and situations I become awkward and many times seem to stumble over my words. (sigh)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol, for your tips and links! I, for one, really appreciate them!
Your welcome and thank you so much! Yes, that is me, my mind goes blank and I never know what to say too. Hope all is well!
