Yes, colored pencil is most certainly a test of patience! And you have done an excellent job here. I have a blender but haven't made much use of it yet. And I've read of the use of solvents for blending colored pencil, but haven't tried that either. I have only, like you, slowly added layer upon layer to get the desired effect.
Thank you Carl, Terri & Charlene! Your comments are very encouraging. To answer Charlene, I used a Colored Pencil Blender after a few layers & in the background only but wasn't getting the results I wanted so I scrapped the blender & continued laying down more and more layers of colors. You've got to go light-handed so as not to build up too quickly - as I'm sure you know Charlene there is only so much tooth in the paper to hold only so much color which is most certainly a test of patience!
Good evening. I have not abandoned you, just had to make the vote I felt most fitted the category of light and dark. If you keep up this kind of work I do not think you will experience many disappointments.
Congratulations. You have been selected as one of the contest finalists. Public voting will take place until January 14th on the voting page here. Best of luck.
A warm and loving tribute to this little girl. She looks beautiful in and out. Agree with Carl - you got skillz - this looks like a painting. Thank You, E
