They are almost black!<br>I know what you mean about never knowing what is going to come out of your pencil... my favorite drawings are ones that are unplanned, I start with a couple lines and then sometimes something wonderful appears!Carolynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15197079377878890152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345464989759144492.post-92221575973011507282005-05-24T09:21:00.000-04:002005-05-24T09:21:00.000-04:00I really appreciate all the positive feedback.

HB leads (slightly softer) will give you nice dark lines too but there's more of a smudging problem. The mechanical pencil allows for a nice sharp point all the time.Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02140850392243863847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345464989759144492.post-3208990595202034772005-05-24T16:44:00.000-04:002005-05-24T16:44:00.000-04:00Hey Cheryl, I picked up your blog on Carolyn's...Hey Cheryl, I picked up your blog on Carolyn's. Curious: How large are your drawings? Do you illustrate professionally? The boy with the ice cream is my favorite. Was it for a story or did you just do it for fun?Chuck Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09731992878530791356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345464989759144492.post-90681169356546646432005-05-25T08:04:00.000-04:002005-05-25T08:04:00.000-04:00Hey, Chuck....The aquatic drawing is about 6in. sq...Hey, Chuck....The aquatic drawing is about 6in. square, the ice cream boy which was done just for fun, prompted by the Illustration Friday challenge, is about 5in. square .... they all seem to want to be pretty small. I illustrate children's books (when I get the chance - strictly free-lance) but I'm spending more and more time on my fabric pieces which are just for me.
