Ah drawings

This is my friend and former co-worker, Bryan Wallace's Daughter. Such a cutie pie! Anyway, I'm trying a few new techniques (new to me- I'm sure everyone who draws is way up to date with this...I'm behind on the times). Normally an 8 1/2" x 11" drawing takes about 2, maybe 3 hours to draw. Well that was back when I was using one pencil. A 2B pencil. With this new techinique...yeah, it took 9 hours roughly to draw this little angel. I used H, 2H, 4H, HB, B, 2B, 4B, and 6B pencils to give it a little bit more depth than my other drawings. My favorite part is the ribbon on her hat. It pops :)
Let me know what you think. Bryan certainly seemed to like it in the email I sent him last night. Let's just hope the digital image is representative of the actual drawing, hum?
Anyway, I've got another little cutie pie that I will be drawing this week- I'll hopefully be able to post it up this weekend (or sooner).
Also, I have knitted goods to show! Oh my! I haven't posted anything knitted in quite awhile! They're good, I swear. :P
