I tried my first portrait using just pure coloured pencils on tracing paper. The papers tooth was not that good but it served to be a reasonable test for me.
Even though I am a colored pencil artist myself - it always baffles me when an artist is able to do skin tones so flawlessly... :) (I'm an animal artist myself! LOL) Amazing work - I am excited to see it finished!
Truily amazing colored pencil drawing, portrait, colors, softness and over all picture!
Artist Reply: Many thanks for the great comments. I haven't been doing coloured pencils long. I'm a ballpoint pen and ink pointillist really. See my work on www.ChumleysArt.com for more. Besyt wishes, Chumley
