It's dark...

I've been playing around with sketching on black paper, with colored pencils.   I like the way it has turned out. I like the black and white ones better than the colored ones.

Anyway,  I think I will start selling a few of my sketches on etsy again.  I used to sell art on  ebay and etsy, but I quit a while back.  I need to raise money for a home repair, so I guess I'd better get busy trying to make a little $$$. Plus, I have hundreds and hundreds of sketch book pages.  Do you think I could sell them at like $5-10 each?  Guess it doesn't hurt to try.

Here's one of the ones I scanned.  I think I'll list it on etsy at $10, with free shipping.

Original Colored Pencil Drawing - Cowgirl on Black Paper

This is an original colored pencil sketch, showing a healthy young woman riding a horse in the desert - completely nude. Don't ask me why she would do such a thing, I would think she'd get terribly sunburned. But anyway, there she is in all her robust glory. 

The drawing measures 9" x 12" and is drawn on black Strathmore medium weight, lightly textured, acid free drawing paper.

oh my head. today was the 2nd longest day at work ever. ever. we had a 6.30 am critique meeting. we got lots of things approved, so it was a productive morning.

I was glad to get to come home this afternoon.

I am working on a new drawing. I have some exciting ideas for it. Here's a little sneak preview.

some of my girly drawings

thought I'd share some of my older drawings. This one is from a long time ago when I worked for a magazine. it was a cover illustration. It is an ink washing painting. it is intentionally contrasty because we had a crappy old dinosaur of a process camera to shoot with.

I believe she was miss detroit. Not sure now, it was a long time ago.
