This is my first full colored-pencil portrait. I am not tottally happy with it, but it is certianly the best so far! And a good experience! I now know what colors to use for faces.

I've been uncovering more and more old pictures from an undated CD. I really should get more organized and start dating my CDs. Some of the pictures are really, really old. Some of them are from barely 2 years ago. I really don't remember! But here they are!

A Mothers' Day gift (or was it for Mom's birthday?) a few years ago
A tiny painting
A drawing of our parish for some family friends who moved away

A drawing of my sister playing in the snow, a birthday gift for my dad. I SO messed up the proportions
Oh, wow. This is really old. Like, third or fourth grade old. It was a poster we did for school-- only every other school in our district did it, too. I forget what the contest was. :P There was this big reception thing, in the school gym, and there was a beaver and a guy who talked and talked and all Iheard was blah blah blah. Funny, the things I remember? :)
A painting of my sisters' godparent's girl that I never did do-- I tottaly messed it up and gessoed it over.
Wow. She was LITTLE.
A coloring contest. I was, 11? 12? And I got third place in the 11-18 year old bracket. Actually, its still up on the website! HERE.
A painting for a family friend's cousin in Germany who visited us when she was down here in Hillbilly Land. :) Its a drawing of a picture I took when we all went out to Meramac Springs Park. You can see part of a notebook I'd decorated.
That contest picture, a drawing of St. George, and a colored-in photocopy of the drawing of St. George.
Well, there are many things I like and dislike about this drawing. Considering the fact that it is my first full colored pencil face, and I did it off of a small photograph while sitting on the couch at Grandma's (with cousins watching my every pencil movement), I think I did okay.
Anyway, it is a drawing of my little brother! And the squiggles on the one side is supposed to be his teddy bear. Excuse me, my sister's teddy bear, which he stole. The photograph is really cute, I snapped it while he was being protective of Mr. Fuzz-Fur.
I drew Lucy Pevensie the next day! This is my typical colored pencil/pen style. Again, I want to pummel the scanner to death. This scan lost all skin color! And the rich reds!
Here's a picture of the drawing from my camera. Bit of a weird angle. :P
I am quite upset at our scanner; even with the help of Paint Shop, the picture doesn't have the depth of color that my actual drawing has. And the colors that it highlighted are the wrong ones-- it makes the drawing look funny.
I have decided to get back to honing my colored pencil skills! Believe it or not, this is my first colored pencil drawing that does not have any pen lines-- since third grade. Yes, it is true.
I based this drawing off of a photograph from Goblet of Fire. In the movies, Hermione wore a beautiful pink gown to the Yule Ball. In the books, however, the dress was periwinkle blue. :) So, for the fun of it, I drew the picture and transformed the dress blue. And more modest. :P

Edit: I took a picture with my camera-- it has really different lighting! :P
