Drawing Progress

I've made some progress after I transferred the graphite sketch I began on Drawing Day to some Stonehenge drawing paper. So I didn't come anywhere near completing a drawing on that day. But at least it got me started. I plan to take my time and color in many layers of different colors before I consider this done. This is a detail (about half) of the full image. The dancer's arm extends to the upper left hand corner all the way to her fingertips.

The great thing about working in colored pencils is basically no set up time is involved. I often don't paint because of the set up (and clean up) time. Also, you don't want to waste paint. It's a much bigger commitment. I suppose I should have both kinds of projects going and just assess which will fit my schedule at any given time.
