woodland angel finished at last

[anthemsweet]

Months ago I posted an earlier version of this picture. I thought I was basically finished, but I wasn't. I did a lot more layers of colored pencil, and got a better scan. I'd put it by my earlier version, but don't have the patience to dig through posts to find it. (I'm probably overlooking some easy thing. So be it) .

Beautiful! It seems to be to have more value contrast than I remember in the original, though its hard to say without seeing them side by side. Well done!

Beautifully done! Really.

[anthemsweet]

@Sarah-LuAnn Thank you! Yes, I did put in more contrast. I realized I just wasn't finished, which felt really frustrating, but hey, it's done, and I'm happy to be moving on!

@Rich-Green Wow! Thank you for finding that. I'm going to look at it right now.

This has such a sweet, soft, quality that almost looks like it was done on fabric. Well done.

Gorgeous! The color pencil texture adds so much to the feel of the piece. Makes me feel like a little girl again, looking through my favorite books.

[anthemsweet]

@TessW Thank you! That just delights me--feeling like a little girl again. I think that's mostly why I make art, trying to recapture that feeling for others and for myself.

@Laurel-Aylesworth Thank you! The sweet and soft--that was my goal, for sure!
