@vern It was fun to return to white stonehenge paper again, I enjoyed being able to deeply burnish and get that painterly feel with the pencils. Very cold and 8 inches of snow here over the weekend so am happy to be cozy inside with several projects on the go!
I’m with you on that deep burnishing! Eventually many of my colored pencil drawing feel like oil paintings. As with your other mushroom drawings, beautiful veining! I like that you have achieved a good tonal range without loosing the vibrancy of the color.
Wow, you’re really getting some nice contrast in those gills! This has such a cool sculptural feel to it!

Yes – echoing Vern – so sculptural and alive. Great texture. wow 8″! We were supposed to get snow today, but nope, just usual rain.
