Hello Friends! I recently completed a colored pencil entry into the Colored Pencil Magazine's July 2014 Art Contest because I loved the dragonfly reference photo. I didn't win the CPM contest, but I did win in the fact that I tried out a totally wet colored pencil background and a different technique for doing the wings, which I really like.
However, when I look at the finished piece, it just seems to be lacking something so I made a print and added leaves to see if that is what is missing. Before I alter the original I thought I would present it to you to see which you prefer. Dragonfly with plain background? Dragonfly with leaves?
Looking forward to your responses ...
Oh, here is a copy of the reference photo ...
