This was where I started -- watercolor plopped down on Bristol. I really thought I would be able to get more detail and a better quality of shading with graphite over this, but it just didn't work like I'd planned. I went back in a time or two with a wet brush to lift a thing here and there, and to put in a little more color here and there, and was surprised to find that the graphite smeared. Ooops.Oh well. Lesson learned!
AND I just realized, today is the last day of NaBloPoMo, and I made it! (I think -- I'll have to go back and check.) December starts tomorrow -- what shall THAT month bring, I wonder?

Well it will bring Christmas silly. Maybe we should have a Christmas-sketch-a-day month.
I really like your girl and hope you do it again to 'your' satisfaction. The pose is quite striking.
I love the finished product!
I've done the same thing with water and graphite, but they're lessons learned, like you say..even so, I really like this...maybe you could try again over it with some more graphite?

i love this wc! and congratulations on making it through nablopomo.
I'm not sure why this is failed. I like it as is. Very moody feeling for such a little girl.
