Excellent job as usual Carol!!

Might I dare to make a suggestion though. You can take it or leave it, afterall, I am still learning. I think if you increase your values, especially increasing the darks, and have a greater range of values, it will make your pictures POP more and look more 3-d. It took me about three years of advice and nagging from other very talented professionals before I had the guts to really use my darks. Now I really see the difference, although sometimes still fall short in that area.

If you know how to put a picture of your drawing into a graphic program such as Paint Shop Pro or photoshop, and then grayscale it (or make it black & white), you'll see what I mean. It really reveals the range of values in a picture.

Either way, your work is still beautiful!!! :clap: :D

Thanks Nancy! My scanner doesn't work very well, so colors and values aren't what they appear in the image. Each piece I do, kind of depends on what I am looking for, as far as values go. With this particular piece I wanted a softer touch. I think it's my style though. I don't go for the real darks like other cp artists. I do once in a while :) Thanks for the input though!
