FND - FINALLY - on Sunday (ice storm blackout!

[Surfinia]

I live in the Kansas City area, and we were without power from Tues. night until Saturday night. :( I'm finally back on line. :) (WetCanvas withdrawal !!!) I decided to do the drawing event this afternoon. This was drawn with sketch pens. Love castles and had fun drawing this one. Took me about 1-1/2 hours.

oooh! purdy (I love castles too) Lovely sketch Surfina :clap:

The pinkish color is probably from your scanner, but it adds kind of an interesting cast to it that I would like to be able to copy on paper.

Anyone know how I might be able to achieve doing that? Maybe watercolors?

[Surfinia]

Thanks, Wingnut.

Oh, my, it did come out pink. How'd that happen???
I have a digital camera, and the pic before uploading was white as snow.

I expect you could easily tint with watercolor, like you say.

Hi Surfinia

Looks great! - I really like the detail that you achieved. :clap: :clap:

I love the play of darks and lights on the castle. It really makes the towers look round and stand out.

Excellent work on white OR pink!

[Surfinia]

Thanks Yielding and Diana.

It's been hard for me to work up to really dark darks, but I'm getting bolder all the time.

Hi Surfina, I really like the way you've come up with this look. I I think this looks like something right out of Disney!:p Really nice, I love it! Actually, the pink makes it look kind'a neat to me, not that I like pink.:p You should be proud!

Randy and Deb - thanks for your kind comments.

Deb - I sure wish I could draw as well as you do (reference your dog drawing).

Whoa Whoa Whoa! That is too cool, I love that!
It's got just the right amount of linework on it, I admire that because I usually go overboard with a pen and ruin everything.
