Obviously, this piece isn't done, but I wanted to show progress on my current piece. I laid down marker first, and now I'm working over it with Prisma color pencils.

So he has new meds to take, and we stopped in to pick them up. He loved on The Ladies of course, … Continue reading Our Vet’s Office Ladies Are SO SWEET!
I've been enjoying my new method of working with colored pencils, so here's another piece for you to enjoy. First, the reference art.
