Illustration Friday - Soar


May you use your unique talents to soar in 2008. Happy New Year!

Mechanical and red colored pencil on Strathmore 400 Series Drawing medium paper (9" x 12").

Here is an earlier version of the drawing with no blending. I like the visible pencil strokes, but could not get the background dark enough using only cross hatching.

They're both very nice, but I'm with you on liking the raw lines more. There's something wonderful about a deliberate stroke! I tend to end up blending everything though. I love doing it, especially with a stomp.Such fun!
Happy new year!
