This colored pencil drawing was completed several years ago. It’s not perfect, but neither is it a disaster. I hope to uploade a few better colored pencil drawings soon. Although they Lack the definition and boldness of paints, colored pencils are easy, simple, and convenient to use and require little cleanup.
This is a graphite depiction of a bottlenose dolphin. When shaded properly, graphite can render a three-dimensional appearance. It is one of my favorite mediums to use.
*Speechless* This is also amazing. Wow David. You really do have a talent. Keep it up. 😀
@david
I love the dolphin!!! *shakes head in awe*A dreamer who believes in the impossible...and dragons. (INFJ-T)
Those are amazing drawings!!! @david
Ooh… that dolphin is gorgeous.
I find that when I work with pencils it’s more to sketch out a rough, quick idea than actually finish a polished piece of art, so most of my pencil drawings are pretty messy with a lot of unnecessary lines just marking out where I want things to go if the drawing ever translates into a painting. But the few finished black-and-white graphite drawings I’ve done were loads of fun. 🙂
I love drawing people— there’s just something so fascinating about all the different sizes and shapes and faces.
What do you most enjoy drawing, @david?Thanks everyone! I’m glad y’all like the pictures. I could not do any of them without the help of the Lord.
@Kate-Flournoy, I most enjoy drawing birds and fish. I have been using the same set of ergosoft pencils for the past six years, and I just got a new set of prismacolors a few weeks ago. I usually draw pictures for thank-you cards, but I occasionally make ordinary pictures.I like pencil drawings. I don’t draw too much, but the other day I sat down and drew one of my settings from one of my stories. It wasn’t as impressive as in my mind, but I still enjoyed it. 😉
INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.
Birds and fish, @david? Ugh. *shudders* I cannot draw either of those to save my life. Awesome for you that you enjoy them! 😀
Birds are beautiful, but the feathers can be a little tedious. Fish are fun because, if they don’t have large scales, they have very little texture and are therefore easy to color. I like all ocean life, and also enjoy drawing whales and dolphins. I have not thought much about drawing seals yet, but I will consider it. I always like depicting living, moving creatures. I have a particular liking for showing regal animals in a way that fully portrays their majesty, though I also like catching them in their humorous everyday moments- like a macaw preening or sprawling across two branches in an attempt to reach a berry. What is your favorite drawing subject?
People. Beyond a doubt, people, which is odd, since I have trouble drawing them as well as I can draw some things. But what’s so fun about people is that no two are alike— I love trying to capture their personalities in paint almost as much as I love trying to capture them in words.
I do love humor, as well, though I seem to be better at pensive, thoughtful moods, or little sweet moments like a mother singing to her baby, or a father and mother watching their children play. I also love trying to capture light— doing odd things with it; trying new angles or levels of shadow and highlight. I’m better at doing that with paint than I am with pencil or charcoal. 😉Sorry, didn’t work.
@Kate-Flournoy, facial expressions are amazing, but difficult. I am not nearly as good at people as I am at depicting animals. Just tried to post my newest piece- a prismacolor drawing of a peregrine falcon- but it didn’t work. I may try again later.Praise God, it finally worked! This depiction of a peregrine falcon is one of my latest colored pencil pieces. I used my brand new set of prismacolors and am very pleased with them. We darkened the picture a little so that it would show up better, and my wonderful siblings worked tirelessly to get it on the forum. i hope you all enjoy it.
@david oh wow, that’s really cool looking! Great job with the coloring. I really need to practice more with colored pencils, I lean towards markers more. But I really love how this looks. The falcon’s face looks awesome and I really like the sky.
