If you have been a follower of my art blog, you will likely recognize this lovely girl's face. I've known Melissa since she was a tiny girl. We have been pals for most of her life. She and her family often model for me, so her face shows up a lot in my artwork. She is not only beautiful, but her heart is dear, sweet and good.
My children gave me a sketchbook with toned paper last Christmas. I have had so much fun with it! To create the drawing above, I used white and black Prismacolor pencils. It is a whole new way of thinking through a drawing!
Have a lovely day and Happy Paint Party Friday!

Your ink drawing is so sweet, and beautiful use of drawing on toned paper. Looks so lovely!
Wow, Beth, your artwork in incredily detailed. Amazing stuff. I found you through a comment you left on Alexandra's last post.
that top piece is beautiful and I can't even imagine drawing something so detailed as that line drawing with all those plants and animals. I can only imagine what it will look like coloured in! Great job.
Beth there is so much detail & thought in your drawings! Such great works. Working on toned paper looks to be interesting. Happy PPF!
That tone paper looks great! Must be inspiring!
Your portrait of Melissa is beautiful, I love the light and shadows on her skin.
She is indeed beautiful - a lovely portrait! And thanks for visiting - have a great week :)
Your sketches are wonderful! You are certainly gifted!
I like the color of the portrait paper. Looks very stylish with your beautiful drawing...
Beautiful and tender creations! Lovely work. Thank you for sharing!
I love the way you only framed your friend's face with some strands of her hair, as if she was picking through the paper. Your nieces ink drawing is fascinating with all its detail. Blessings!
