If at first..........

........ you don't succeed try, try again.

A while ago I posted a drawing I did in coloured pencils. I didn't like it at the time and now I look back on it I can't believe I posted it for the world to see .Lol! Not that I think the whole world visits my blog but you know what I mean.

Well, I thought I would give it another try. My first attempt was 'unpostable'. (I think I made that word up.) Then I had one last ditch attempt and this is how it turned out.


Maybe with a little more practice I will get to like working in them but for now the 'jury' is out.

I am linking this post to Sunday Sketches over at Alexandra's blog Blue Chair Diary Illistrations.

Thanks for visiting. x

  4. You made me smile with your self criticism..I do think you are rather hard on yourself, as without mistakes we would never learn however I think you have handled the medium beautifully. your figures always have a timeless feel to them...

  6. I think she is adorable Carol. Her sweet face and soulful eyes are Innocence personified. Unused mediums always take time to get used to, but you've used the pencils so well, I wouldn't have thought them to be 'new' to you. Really lovely work indeed. Enjoy your week, whatever you're up to ((hugs)) :o) x
