Lifting

 

11/4/26 Maple Leaf neighborhood (Derwent Drawing pencil in S&B Zeta sketchbook)

The sun was already starting to come through by the time I got upstairs, so the morning fog was lifting rapidly. Under pressure to finish quickly, I thought for a moment that graphite would have been a better choice; I could have smudged the foggy effect more efficiently and effectively. (Ironically, the less smudgy benefit of colored pencils worked against me here.)

But I have that choice every day. The purpose of a drawing challenge (for me personally, not as a general rule) is to limit myself to whatever I’ve committed to for the month – and this Pencilvember is all about dry colored pencils. (And oooh, how I love having Derwent Drawing pencils in my hand again!)
