Pencil drawings are like the B&W of photography.
To see a colour drawing in its pencil drawing state allows the viewer to look more directly at the shading, the the patterns, the basic design and
admire it all the more. SWEET PERFECTION, Karin.

Hi P I just love reading your replies…. Often think I should grab a cuppa and come back to them to just enjoy them more fully… They are such a great read and always exceedingly encouraging for me…
Thank you so much for your great insight about drawings in the raw!!!

Hi Karin, Pencil drawings are sooooooooooo many levels above B&W photography. Its one thing to have the drawing idea in ones head and then even more so to be able to translate it to the page. When I see creativity I like to encourage it and praise it – hopefully my words inspire and instill the ‘Smile Factor’ in the artist – which encourgages a talent such as yours.To create drawings with such an instantly recognisable style is a gift.
