Thank you all for your supportive and kind words. It’s given me the incentive to keep going but it might be a long wait for the finished product.

@snookypooky you have done an amazing job creating the texture of the skin. So detailed and realistic. I look forward to seeing the headdress in all its glory.
I too will do some smaller/simpler drawings after tackling one that requires more time and concentration. - Jeanine

Snail drawing with Lyra Polycor on 220gr 14,8x 21cm Lana Dessin220paper
It is a bit of a shame there a no more layers possible. (honestly I did not count them)… or I did not recognize how I could get more layers on it🤔
It was a hard job for me to create the background and I am really not happy with it… the snail I like.

Hi everyone. This is a work in progress, what do y’all think so far? I’m continuing the “me and cars’ series (I don’t look like the mannequin though). I find that drawing automobile parts helps demystify them in my mind, and then I feel less stressed about car repairs. My local mechanics are awesome about letting me take reference photos! This is based on a reference photo I took at a local transmission shop. It’s pastel on Pastelmat, titled, “The Flywheel”. Feedback welcome. Thank you!

I agree with you. The snail is nice. The background seems kind of pixelated.

OMG I continue the oil pastel course🙈the landscape… it seems to be not my favourite material… and I recognised I am not really trained in drawing landscapes.
Maybe I can motivate myself to draw some undefined patterns to get more free of the subject

I just found this post… the background blending is so well done, colors so complementary, details just shimmer, light source is lovely. Bravo on a wonderful piece of art!!

Finished a Pink and Peach Peony. It’s centered on 16x16 rising museum board 100% cotton. With Prismacolor, Polychromos, Holbein, and lightfast colored pencils. 
Will go back and clean up some details, especially after a tiny mosquito got squished on it since I took the picture in the backyard

That peony is gorgeous! I love the color of that paper, too.

Thank you! The paper is normal white, it looks bluish because I took the picture outside.

Hello Terri!
Thank you! I took a looooooong time to finish it. You know how slow colored pencil takes? Well triple that. I had a HUGE marred area on the edge of a petal that I had worked over many times. I don’t get to sit and work on a piece for extended periods of time so I would forget where I’d left off. Well if anyone ever experiences a badly marred area on a pencil drawing, I can totally tell you what to do to hide it!
