Sunday Sketch 'Eamonn and the pumpkins'




I'm posting my Sunday sketch a little early as I won't be able to do it this Sunday. Hope that's ok... Love this one of my 1 year old in the pumpkins last fall.

He's a pistol that's for sure!

Hi Julia! What a wonderful sketch of your boy, he's gorgeous! You did a great job with his features and I love the details you captured in his coveralls. The graphite with color adds interest too.

Just joined Sunday Sketches, I love your blog and am your newest follower, great stuff! Good for you to start writing, us mothers need to do a little something for ourselves. I am working on writing and illustrating a picture book about our rescue dog. Best of luck to you with everything!

Thanks for your visit Julia and good luck with the primacolor pencils. I think you'll enjoy working with them - I've also experimented with a few other brands. Prisma is by far the softest, which is great for most things, but if you find you need a slightly harder colored pencil Lyra and Faber-Castell are nice. I think Prisma has the best variety of colors though. I'll make sure everyone knows when my book is ready, but I think it might be a couple of years! Thanks for the encouragement - I tried to look at your book blog but it wouldn't load, so I'll try again tomorrow. Blogger has been a pain the past couple weeks!

I there what a lovely Sunday sketch! Love that he's in black and white and the background is in colour! You've done a lovely job, what a cute little man!

Thanks for all your lovely comments! work is in graphite and colored pencils - my daughter actually took this pic and used some photo shop type program to make him B&W while leaving the rest of the shot color. I loved it so I decided to try and capture it.
