I thought I'd have some good old guy fun with the T-bird. Change the wheels, give it a paint job, headlight covers....

Coloured Pencils

Kay, thank you very much!
I also love the pastels!! I love them for their beautiful and vibrant colors and their amazing effects!! I think I can manage them, but certainly not in portraits!! I just wish I can learn how to draw faces... I love all your beautiful portraits! And the drawings you have made for this challenge are just wonderful! Congratulations!

Cheers,
Sonia.

Thank you, Kim, for your kindness! I think is it a great idea to hang all your daughter´s portraits! What a collection!!!
Thank you for this challenge!

Kind regards,
Sonia.

Mindy I love your style of work hun .. he is beautiful .

Jazz you make her want to paint her car now ...lol that was clever ....well done

I felt I had to try the giraffe as everyone else has done him. I used colour pencils on an odd piece of watercolour paper. I'm not sure about the texture. It measures about 8 x 10".

wwooowwww very good draw....i like your drawing skill...


sergiov

Thanks Sergiov!

Norma that is a lovely giraffe. It does look nicer in color.

Jazzmanian, very cool modifications you made on that T-bird!

Hi Kim, I decided to draw your beautiful daughter, First drawing for a while, coming out of a dry period.
Well done everyone, some lovely drawings.
2B pencil on cartridge paper. About 9 X 6.

I am so impressed !!!! Great addition to Kims Andy Warhol..

Yes it is .. I love it !!!

Norma the Giraffe is beautiful hun .

Hello again!
This time I decided to just put aside my pastels, and try the graphite pencils on the bee...

Cheers!!
Sonia.

Sonia !!!! This is Very Very Good.. !!
I like it better without the Spider..

Here is my contribution to the challenge.

Before sleeping I though about the original picture of the vasp and this sentence came to my mind:

"Run little human, run"

This inspired me...

Sonia, (just love that name) that is awesome work..and Dir3kt that is a great job too and quite creative..i think these guys make us all feel a lil small when they are circling around us,

Wow..Paul, i dont know how i missed this here hon..i just seen it in the gallery and it is totally awesome..you really did a wonderful job.
However as much as i would like to have a daughter, that is Kims lovely girl..

Thanks Kim. I've done 3 challenges this week, which will probably have to make up fpr next week as I'm going down to visit my daughter tomorrow, then carrying on down to see my big son after that. I sometimes wish the family wasn't so scattered, but it's nice to go away to see them - it's like a series of holidays.

How Fun is this one !! Well maybe not for the Human in the drawing but I like your imagination !!

Thank you for the beautiful photos. And very good drawings till now. I am starting from the top - a bit late, I guess.

Great drawing Sveta!!! i love the colours you used!!!

I've been bit by the ATC bug.

Here's your daughter as an Art-Trading-Card. If she were to appear in a comic strip she might look like this.

(I made a black spot where a tooth should be I'm afraid, but black pen ink does not come with an undo feature.)

OMG..that is like the coolest thing jazz..how good are you to be able to do that in so small a format and it looks awesome

I'm a rank beginner.

I have a fine point pen, and am having fun. It's the fun that counts.

A bad day for the giraffe.

Sveta, your giraffe looks fantastic, as with all of your works. You have a way with color that just blows me away, it's so beautiful. Even something as simple as a jar of peaches; you make it look bright and wonderful!

This is quite a week! So much artistic spirit here.

I do agree..It is amazing how you handle your colors and make everything so beautiful

Thank you so much, dear Carol! I´m so glad you guys liked it...
Yes... honestly, I could not even look at the spider... I have phobia to spiders and cockroaches!!!

Thank you, dear Kay!! I´m so happy that this one turned out ok!
I felt frustrated with the pastel one...
(Thank you for praising my name! )

What was I thinking... Thanks Kay for pointing it out. I have now corrected my mistake.
Sorry Kim for putting the wrong name.

I am a man after all...

Hi,

Awesome drawings and colours! Here is my contribution to the challenge. 45 minutes during the lunch time.

Turrialba.

Wow !! these are amazing

Sonia your graphite work is beautiful ..I love the Hornet and all the difernt drawings .

Dir3kt...OMGosh !! my husband loves your drawing .. its very Sci Fi and he is a freak about that kind of stuff ... neat how you incorporated the little human lol .

Sveta...not late at all ....these are amazing ....the peaches really look beautiful you can see the reflections and everything ...I like your style .

Jazz ...I love the outline ..Art Trading card for a trade ??? or just the size of a card ?? I would love to take that card off your hands .. I love it .. and knowing you did it trading card size ....wow .

Turri ....very nice work on the giraffe ...nice detail .....the Giraffe were down in like a pit so when you looked at them their heads were right at your view ...Detroit Zoo is a great Zoo.

Hi, does it count that I did one of these pictures 2 years ago? I drew the wasp back in 2007, it is in my gallery. I am also working on the little boy, but it will probably not be done in time.

I just did it that size, because I've been fascinated by this ATC thing this week. It is not for a specific trade, but I'd be happy to send it to you when I send you a card in the next ATC. I'll just drop it in the envelope.

I love this Dir3kt.

Very fun to just look at for a while. Great idea.

Lady .. did I post the hornet in the gallery ? please post the little boy when you get it done .. I am excited to see it .
Jazz are you joining the after dark trade >? I am but not sure about the music trade ... depends on how many join that one .

I want to thank you all for joining my challenge ...I am going to unpin the topic ..but by all means please if you have WIP post it for us to see when it is done .

Kim

Hello, Miss Kim.

Follow my design for the challenge.

Thanks

Hi, I actually had this done hours ago, unfortunately my internet shut down. Now that it is back up, here is my effort. I had to draw that adorable little imp. I drew it with graphite on 9X12 paper canvas. The finished pic is about 6X9ish.

A late contribution. Sorry for that

Wosniak ....great job on my nephew ...its a hard angle and that was the challenge for this pic .. you did a great job .

Lady ..you did a great job as well .. its very hard to capture the look and you got it

Peri ...well done hun .. like the boarder

Thank you very much for your considerations, I believe I have to improve my stroke. I hope to learn more.

Greetings

I didn't even realize until my son pointed it out, that the little boy's head is very "squashed" in my version. I really need to work on perspective! The poor kid doesn't have much room, lol.

Its a very hard angle to get ...his head is tilted looking up ...I think you captured that effect drawing people is hard straight on .. move the head and it gets even harder.

I'm in on both trades this month.

Kim, thank you for the encouragement. It means a lot to me.
