Here is my second entry in the Colored Pencil Magazine March 2013 Art Challenge. There were some areas that needed improving on the first submission so, rather than reworking that piece, I chose to start fresh. This piece is about 7.75" x 5.25", done on Stonehenge Paper with colored pencils and art marker pens.
In this version I was able to capture more of the subjects likeness and I am very happy with this second attempt. Hope you like it as well! I call this version:

PS I am loving my "Orbital Artists' Easel"! In fact so much so that yesterday afternoon I ordered the smaller easel top (13" x 17") for the small pieces I am working on. To my delight, it arrived around noon today! Now THAT is outstanding service! And I was able to complete this piece on the new top. The large size (19"x 20") is perfect for pieces 8.5" x 11" and larger, the smaller size is perfect for my ACEOs and smaller sized pieces. You know, even with 2 tops and the table top base ... this easel is reasonably and affordably priced at less than, or about the same as, the cost of a complete set of top of the line colored pencils. This is honestly the best investment in art equipment I have ever made.
