"And the angels marveled at the magnificent creation of The Most High God!"

This took a few days to complete. I used a 15 x 20 inch piece of illustration board and three different brands of colored pencils. I sketched numerous animals and am using them with different media to create the creation series depicting the creation of the animals by God.

When I get a better photo I'll resubmit so you can see the detail better.

Thank for looking!

The colors, the lines, and the poses of the creatures all work to give the impressions of a spasmatic birth- very well done! this will be a fantastic series!

WOW! I have never understood the technique of colored pencils...dabbled and came away stumped. Do they need to be used on illustration board for that smooth effect? GREAT job.

Actually Sharon, there are all sorts of different ways to draw with colored pencils. I wasn't really happy how these colors turned out on this painting, but it kind of just went that way. The technique I used for this drawing was layers and layers of color, then I burnished the colors with white. Then I added more color, then more white. Also, you can use bristol paper, or any kind of paper, or board. Smooth surface, vellum surface, or hot press is good to use if the paper is heavy. Cold press is a little toothier, but still usable. And there will be some that disagree totally with the way I use them...but that is what makes art so individual. Thanks very much, Sharon:)

this will make any critic of coloring pencils recant. I wish I was able to work with that medium with any decent results. very, very neat piece of work!
