    He looks like he's staring off into the majestic beyond. I like the style!

    ^What I was going to say.

    I very much like the face, as well as the eyes. Very nice texture which is both clear and chalky.

    You used watercolor pencils?

    Thanks very much, Higley and Daniel
    Yes, watercolor pencils. basically, you use watercolor pencils how you'd use a normal pencil, then smudge everything with a wet brush once you're satisfied. They're more user-friendly than plain watercolor, but I'm sticking to the latter.

    I drew this last night. I used a photograph of me and one of the babies my family has been taking care of as a model.



    Once again the picture isn't very high-quality, as I still don't have a real camera, just my webcam.

    Very nice Annamariah!
    You say "drew". Please clarify; did you use colored pencils?
    The baby and it's clothing appear to be graphite pencil while the image of you appears to be colored markers?

    Thanks for sharing.

    I only used pencil, no colours. I know my cheek appears rosy and my hair looks like there's a little bit of brown there, but it's just the light and the camera doing tricks The original drawing is strictly black-and-white.

    We have really gifted artists on Lit Net
    It's a real blessing to have the eyes to contemplate what our fellow members are capable of

    I drew this one in the class today - it was such a boring lecture The story of this Elovena girl can be read on my profile, in the photo album called "My Art".



    Once again I'm sorry for the picture quality, in the original drawing her face is not quite that vague...

    Thanks, Stargazer and Max! (If you were referring to me )

    AnnaMariah - Both of your drawings are beautiful. Perhaps you can try scanning them instead for better quality?

    Thank you

    If only I had a scanner... Should I find myself in possession of some extra money, I think I'd go for a digital camera instead, I would have more use for one of those

    Yes, I was referring to you and to everybody's drawings on this page, which are the ones I've been able to contemplate with more detail. I still have to go to the previous pages and see what I find on them

    Be patient, it all comes when we least expect it. By this time last year I didn't have an Internet connection at home, and now I do, and I'm a sovereign addict (though in a very healthy sense of the word )
