This is a pencil drawing all in HB pencil. I will later add other pencil marks to give it more depth. For now this is where it is. I have 6 drawings to complete for Semister one. This is no.1 and I have to do 5 more. So for now this is done. If at the end of the semester I have time I will add to this and then repost it . For now this is Amy our redbubble Amy’s Profile member and she was my muse for this work of art. Its an A1 drawing so its large scale. Thanks for looking. BillyLee

Stunning talent! Absolutely wonderful!
This is amazing!
What great creativity and imagination
excellant drawing Billy !!
Hey thanks you guys, will be interesting to see or hear what people have to say to it….as art teachers don’t say much, mine said , “mm I like this, needs more depth though” and that was it, How do you get the depth…I just told him it wasn’t finished yet, but will have to get more depth somehow. Drawing people , opionins needed. Ta. B
this is a lovely and clever craeted picture, well done Billy Lee, love your art and style…
more depth? maybe darken just behind the lady, the base of the trees and darken her hair at the back . oh good grief though, if you like it ,don’t muck it up …be careful. although your experience with prints comes out because wood cuts etc are flat?? no experience doing them here, just observing.
sometimes after teachers say that you go and alter it and then you get told , oh I liked it anyway. [grump grump]
Ginny, I will write that down in my note book what you said and I will do just that. Don’t worry I will go lightly and darken those bits just a tad….will let you know how it works, I appreciate the help because I am going to finish this drawing one day, and spectacular it will be!

I don’t think it needs more depth! It is working ver well as it is! What I would do is play around with it digitally, experiment a bit before you alter the original! Great work! Milly
Great Idea Missmilly, I will do just that…..then see how it goes. Thanks…will let you know. B

Looks great!!!!
I agree with Missmilly, play with it in Photoshop before you draw more. You might not like the “deep” version. I believe that more contrast at the front (Amy + trees beneath) would give more depth. Good luck!
PS Teachers are not always right. :)
Ok Sorina Sorina, I will write that down also. This is great, I love getting advice from my art buddies. I will write that in my notes also….and another question for you or anybody else, pencil , any suggestions what kind of pencil, this whole thing is done with a regular HB and there are so many types of pencils out there???
