I finally found ten minutes (really ten minutes!) to sketch this little neighbour I'm always happy to welcome back to the neighbourhood. His appearance means spring is really here.
ACEO size, Polychromos on Somerset velvet newsprint grey.
Wonderful sketch! I've always wanted to go to Nova Scotia. I think I lived there at some point as a baby, but I can't verify that info now. We came to the states when I was two...sooo many years ago! But now, as an adult and as an artist, I'd love to spend some time there. Anyway...lovely Robin!
A spot to share my colored pencil endeavours with family and friends. I'm an absolute beginner but I really love this medium, and providing my brain with an artistic outlet as well as the literary one.
I'm a speculative fiction writer from Nova Scotia, Canada, and just a hobbyist at colored pencil. But I find it a relaxing and enjoyable art form. And I think I'm improving! Start from the beginning of the archives and work your way up to see the pictures in chronological order.
IF
This year I'm attempting to do an Illustration Friday picture every week.
All my IF creations are now viewable as a set at flickr.com.

Wow that is a great sketch to do in just 10 minutes! I love watching birds from my window too. They are some of my best neighbours!

A very sweet sketch. I've been seeing robins in my back yard lately, only they fly away before I can take a picture of them.
