        People, it’s been six years since I completed a drawing. I’ve dabbled but I’m jumping in! I have six total grands now (all their mama’s want drawings), plus I may have some commissions coming up. I NEED to brush up. I have chosen this great reference from the reference library to brush up my skills. It is a color picture that I threw into photoshop and made suitable for graphite. I haven’t started but will do so, hopefully tonight…thought I’d go ahead and share my reference…

        If you’re drawing your grandchildren like this, don’t you think their mothers would appreciate it if you at least waited for them to hatch naturally? I mean you’ll probably get a better likeness that way …

        oh wow your grandchildren are really cute, its so nice to see them coming out of their shell

                    OH NO ! Dianna that was uncalled for, I was going to say something along those lines but chickened out, as I thought it was laying it on two much, I think you have some eggsplaining to do,

                        I am completely EGGcited that you folks are going to follow along…

                        This isn’t a great update, but it is what it is. I started with the egg yolk (of course, who wouldn’t?) on the right bottom side. I am using Derwent graphite pencils on Canson Bristol Vellum paper. This is a layer of 4B, then 2H, 4B and finally 2B. I’m not finished by any means, just laying soft layers in to start. This scan isn’t the best but gives you somewhat of an idea. Because the correct tonal value will be hard to determine until I start laying in more layers around this side, I won’t know if I have the right value here yet. It still needs much more work. But I AM working on it.

                        Thanks for watching! Hope it will help me recapture some skills!:thumbsup:

                            G, it should be obvious that this little somewhat of a circle with the graphite blob is an egg yolk! People!:rolleyes:

                            K, one day my circle blob thingy is going to grow up and be a beautiful broken egg. Most women hate those btw because they are so blasted hard to get up!

                            Then let them sleep. Sheesh … what’s so hard to figure out about that? :confused:

                            Ken; my brain is obviously becoming scrambled.
                            Brenda; all my egg yolks look like this.

                                As soon as I can remember how to do a truly realistic picture of my egg yolk, Ima going to post an update…

                                Gordon, all egg yolks are lovely to those who love them…I do!:heart: #eggyolkloversunite

                                    If they sleep, how can anyone have scrambled eggs for breakfast!:rolleyes:
