Artist's Comments

I haven't messed around with colored pencils in a long time. Zindy recently inspired me with her new Avril Lavinge colored pencil portrait so I dug out the CP's and had a go at one. I think this turned out ok but I am not very good with skin tones, so be easy on me. I used a grainy paper on this drawing too, which is why it's not as smooth as my other drawings.

yeah, you are probably right...I need to practice with CP's. I forgot how much I like doing colors.

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat; "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
