My First Colored Pencils Exercises

The flowers came from an exercise from Sandra Angelo's Exploring Colored Pencil. I had no clue what a "colorless blender" was but did whatever I could to make it look like the one in the book. Blending colors is tough!

Not being too pleased with the flowers, I flipped through the book and found the adorable giraffe on p.20. This time I only wanted to focus on color mixing. Therefore the trees.

I got pretty frustrated by now, so I just drew a purple pencil at the end. I thought it was fine, but David told me that the light and shadows weren't quite right.

Colored pencils drawing is no easy business!
