New illustration

I FINALLY finished this bath illustration. I thought it would never happen. I started one and then I clumsily knocked it off the desk and when I went to pick it up it was bent in half! I had to start it over again. Then I don't know how but someone spilled some coffee on it! Yeah okay...that was me too. LOL So I had to start a third one! This is the end result and I tell you if anything happened to it again I was going to scrap the whole things as cursed!

I feel almost completely back to my old self, just the dregs of a cold. I tell you, we have been hammered with illness these past two months. I am hoping that is the end so I can truly get back to my work!

Third times a charm! It's so sweet.
I used to do a lot of prismacolor drawings, before I started working with acrylics and often had similar mishaps.
The paint is a lot more forgiving, but I still enjoy the colored pencils every now and then. I never was this good at it though.

Thanks for the kind words. I totally agree about acrylics being more forgiving. At the moment I can put a pencil down more quickly than my paints! I had a lot of dry paint on my palettes for a while with my boys causing trouble. I have a lot of half completed sculpts around as well. Heavy sigh...How dare they get in the way of my art!! LOL
