Thanks and just a regular
Pencil drawing
That counts... I love graphite, I suck at color. Have something of a pencil addiction. I mean, how many pencils does one person really need? Still waiting to reach that limit. :lol:

You can make okay money with graphite but not nearly as much as color. My pencil drawings (commission, working from a photo) start at $200 for an 11x17. I work slow though so when divided by the number of hours it's pretty sad. :D

a lot of stuff turns out that way.. :p

i think about how "little" the material cost was for my tank stand, and think about how much I saved, but then if i factor in the number of hours, and if i pay myself the wage i make at work, the tank would have been just as much as if i had Aaron build it.

luckily for me, i actually love building stuff, so it's not a hassle.. :D

I pretty much only sell graphite. I'm still learning colored pencil but can't quite get the hang of layering. I use Prismacolor for practice and Faber Castell Polychromos if I mean it. If you were looking at the one of my dog that was a practice piece in Prismacolor. There are some good books and YouTube tutorials on CP. :)
