I prefer chocolate! EDM #26



Again I return to my favorite medium. I prefer pencil. My hands are drawn to the sensitivity you can achieve with a simple pencil. You can create darks, lights, and various shades in between. It is forgiving and the possibilities are endless.

I like peppers (to eat) but I prefer chocolate!

  7. Beautiful sketch. Yes, chocolate is better but these might be more fun to draw.

  8. Couldn't agree more which what you said about learning to see :) And I see a beautiful drawing this one. The brighter parts are just screaming "see I am shiny!!" and the shadows are bringing just enough of those out not to make it over dramatic. I can't say more about pencils, simply because I love them too :)

  10. Hi there! I´ve just read your EDM post about the pepers and something you said made me think a lot: everyone can draw, you just have to lear how to see. I thinks this is the point of it and you said so wisely! Hope someday I´ll learn this seeing thing! Congratulations for your sketches and the marriage of your daughter.

    Best wishes
