The purple soccer team lost, despite my cheers from the sidelines, but it was a good first game. By the end of the season, we spectators will be wearing winter coats and sharing hot coffee out of Thermos bottles. But today, we sat in the late summer sun and said, "Which kid is yours?" to each other. And, I drew a flower.

Colored pencil, Moleskine sketchbook.

  3. I think combining colors and uncolored portions sort of made it looked like the colored ones are the real thing O_O I must say it's an awesome optic illution!!

  6. Thanks for stopping by, everyone. I was surprised how much the white shows up in the scan. The white is more subtle in the actual drawing.
