Autumn for my mom


This drawing I started a few days back. It's going to be a dedication to my mom. She loves green and Autumn colours. When I showed her a little version through MMS she loved it and already wanted a print, which really made me feel great about the drawing.
I feel so Autumn as I have already explained so why not draw Autumn too?

It's done in colour pencils again and will be about 30x40cm(12x16").

I have just started working on my 2012 calendar which this year will be a collection of my colour pencil fantasy works from 2010-2011. I think this one will be included as well.

I also planned to have the flower girls series out as calendar in 2012 but am beginning to wonder if I will make it considering I am still not done with all of the girls. I seem to lack the inspiration for them. There's been so much this year with great projects and opportunities and I pretty much haven't done any pastel drawings this year. I think it's been a year of colour pencils, which is definitely rare for me I always work mainly in charcoal. However, the year is far from over and I predict the Autumn and Winter will bring me many darker ideas perfect for the charcoal medium.

All I know is I am in a very dark Autumn-Like mood and I hope it continues a little while longer.

Your mother is right, it already looks amazing. And to be completely honest, I do miss your charcoal portraits.

Thanks Nihrida, my charcoal drawings will come back as well as my graphite. Been working with pencils the past days actually :)
