It's been a busy couple of weeks, packing, cleaning and sorting. So, I haven't had anytime to work on my current work in progress. Did I mention how much I hate packing yet? I really hate moving too! Anyways, Wednesday, I have got to pack up all my art things, as the big move is on Friday. I will be without internet from Friday the 13th til Monday the 16th. I will be sure and post pictures of the new house, once we get everything moved in.
So since no current work in progress, I thought I would share two of my favorite very talented color pencil artists with you, to check out http://www.annjamesmassey.com/ and http://becwinnel.com/
And Ann Kullberg's 13th Annual Member Show is now available for viewing. I have entered the show a couple of times in the past, but they changed the rules a few years back. Entries must use their own stock/reference photos. I purchase a lot of stock photos and/or use DA Stock, so many of my entries would be disqualified.
This was one of my prior submissions, but it aroused a lot of flack because I used a stock photo from DA from one of my favorite models.
This week I wanted to share how to transfer your sketch to your drawing surface. There is no right or wrong method. Just remember whatever method you use, some methods will not allow you erase lines very well.
Here are the following ways.
