This was my foray into colored pencils.

Your obvious natural talent will carry you a long way. Please continue and post what you're working on.

Re: Post Your Original Work! Art, Writing and Creations
I've been working with my MDB Secret Santa tablet and stylus. Though I did draw the MDB avatars with a drawing program and mouse, getting hand/eye coordination with the tablet took a little bit of time---but not much. I've been drawing this and that, but somehow ended up using people from a street fashion blog as models. First I worked on textile shading and kept the faces flat; for the last few drawings, though, I've been working on shaded, modeled faces.
Drawing has been really relaxing and therapeutic and its been fun to work on gaining different skills. Ultimately, I'm not that invested in ultra realistic drawing; had I been drawing fashion illustration I would have kept the faces flat and worked out an even more stylized approach. But its fun to try new things.
Here's some of the most recent sketches and a link to a complete montage that shows my learning curve (though the image will only load fairly small since it's so wide).

Oh, and today I tried out some digital watercolours. I'll have to work with this method some more because it was really fun:

Blixa,
These are all great. I'm most in love with the first of your set. Are you taking any requests?
