I personally despise using graphite. It's all messy and smeary and by the time I finish, I've smeared it all over the page and you can't even tell what I've drawn. :) I really love your colored pencil sketches. The color adds emotion to beautifully rendered creatures and humans and objects--you really do have a good eye for sketching. Like I said, the color adds a certain depth to it, it gives it more emotion than a simple black and white sketch would have had. Keep up the colored sketches, they really are lovely! I only wish a page of my sketchbook would look this clean and beautiful!

I think you did a really nice job on this picture just needs a background maybe? still love it ..Shirley
