ok this time i first used goldenrod to color in all the areas that will be gold or yellow...I then used imperial violet to darken and sharpen all the shadows.

when I go over it with the lighter colors it won't be quite so harsh looking.

WOW is just not enough to say, I know but I am speachless. Tnx Arlene for sharing your time with us on this one :D

[arlene]

thanks all again...unfortunately, i wasn't able to work on this at all today...errands and then tonight i had the pleasure of taking 5 nine year olds to the movies to celebrate my daughters birthday, which was August 22nd.

Now they're in the playroom with loud music, food, and karaoke...believe me 4 (one didn't sleepover) high pitched, squeaky voiced preteens...ACCKKK!!!

Jen this is my 7th drawing since coming back to cp...and stay away with that silver black!!!

Glad to show you the process...just was afraid of clogging up the forum with all these scans...hope to have another one tomorrow...when i'm using all the colors and working my way from top to bottom burnishing.

Thanks guys, I'm actually enjoying this...

Cchapla: thanks for the laugh!

Here's the scan where I started burnishing...What I've done now is start at the top, using any pencils needed to get the effect I was looking for...different yellow's, oranges, light blues, and of course cool grey and white. Now I apply alot more pressure to blend all the colors and hopefully get the smooth look of metal.

[Ivyleaf]

Starting to really shine now, I keep looking at the reflections trying to decide if I can figure out what exactly they are reflections of ;)

[pencils4me]

I just love the way you have accomplished this Arlene! I really enjoy seeing the way others go about their projects. So awsome!
