Today, I broke the ties that bind. Six years ago, I started with a black and white photograph, a black cold press board and 2 brand new white primacolor pencils. Several Q-tips and charcoal pencils later, I can honestly say that it has been a journey of discovery.And in discovery that I would, I knew that I could and finally I have and amiss the sea of errors, doubt and multiple erasures and cover-ups, I am proud... no... satisfied with the end result.
My husband is much more ecstatic about the finished product and the original is to be mounted and hung on the wall.

This is the last (chill, people...) project that I attempt using a grid, as I have recently acquired a nice projector and thus spending more time in the actual rendering and brush strokes rather than making sure the scale is correct.
I do have another project on the drawing board that I had begun, but I was being a good girl and decided to finish this one before embarking on a new journey...
Practice does make perfect. Perfection, I don't want... the practice, I do...
