a sketch a day does not keep

the doctor away...spent the last 24 hours having an acute allergy attack...now totally doped up on allergy meds...should be sleeping but decided if i did that i would stay up all nite and i want to go to work tomorrow...miss my kidlets at school...

Thinking i was feeling better I decided to take pics of the tulip colored pencil sketch i have been working on since 11 instead of sleep
ing....took it with three different camera settings...the first one is the closeup setting...this one is the party setting...no flash

This one was done on the snow setting...no flash

which one looks the most nearly like the drawing??? I think the last...NOPE now that I look at in preview its the second one ...snow makes the white bristol board look pinkish for some reason...

its done with prismacolor pencil on strathmore white bristol board...boy that paper really likes cp!!

I THINK i am going to color the background...and I KNOW i am going to add some more darks to the leaves on the left so the darks are sprinkled across all the leaves...originally this was supposed to be jsut an upclose sketch of the tulips themselves..they are so cool...are they parrot tulips Lin?? From Krogers...took them out of their icky cellophane and plopped them in one of my ceramic pots that needed a plant...when they are done ...out to the yard next to the daffodils...which incidently are in full bloom around here ..the temp in 71...3 degrees above normal for this part of the world...just to the right of Augusta GA in SC
