Butterfly in Colored Pencil and Pan Pastel

Pan Pastels were used in the background of this colored pencil drawing. I hope you like it.

Very nice. I like the way your values actually make the leaves appear to curl. And the butterfly looks so soft against the pastel background. Great job.

Thank you for your wonderful comment on my drawing! I was very surprised by the outcome myself after using the pan pastel in the background. It really did seem to make the drawing come alive.

Ruby,
The Pan Pastels are such a nice way to do Bokeh backgrounds. Nice job!
