Graphite Butterfly


While we were away, I had opportunity to do quite a bit of sketching.  This is one of six, 6x6 pieces in graphite, which I will eventually ink and then add color.

I was greatly inspired by our dear Friend Darlene, of Dancing Mangoes, who shows her work from conception to finish.

As I finish each stage of this drawing, I will post it, so you can see my progress!

Have a GREAT week!

Wow I can hardly wait to see the progress to finished product. I love the idea of showing the steps in the creative process it is so interesting to me...I think I will try one myself. Love you.
