A welcome interruption to the everyday routine...
I made this image for the contact page for my website and thought I could submit it for Illustration Friday too... :)

Oooh, very nice, I especially like the way you've done her hair, soft and shiny!

Vickie said...

It's very nice. I like the way you layer your colors. And, she must be a happy girl, she has a mug full of color pencils.

Beautiful, beautiful! You do amazing stuff with colored pencils, Kathy! Love the softness and all the colors and the steam gently rising from your cup. I wish I got all my mail that way. :)

So soooo gorgeous! Although it may be even slower than sail mail, I wouldn't mind signing up for bird mail.

Absolutely beautiful - very serene and calming when viewing. You've got an amazing technique, too!

I really like this illustration Kathy and think it looks great as you contact details backdrop on your website. The use of colours, her hair and the tiny details such as the pencils in pots and the pencil shavings in the littlest pot are what make the illustration so charming. Well done, as always

What a wonderful image, your use of colour and light and dark are always superb. (Love the amazing detail here too, each pencil! I wonder how large the original is?) :)

Thanks Bee, the original image was drawn on A3 paper, I've been working on a slightly larger scale just lately..
