Work-In-Progress and a Prize!

Prize!
Each day this week I'll be posting a different stage of this illustration. In celebration of hitting my 10,000th visitor to this blog, I will be giving away a signed print of the finished piece. Since it will be difficult to know exactly who the 10,000th person is, I'm going to open this up as a contest. Just stop by any day this week, check out the W-I-P, and leave a comment. Each comment will count as an entry in the drawing. (There will be no limit to the numbers of times you may enter.) On Monday June 23th I will post the name of the winner. So stop by and have a look. Good luck!

Work-In-Progress Part One
At this point I am using Graphite pencils on Duralar Matte. The overall size is 9x18. I know this piece will be mixed media, I know I will be combing B&W with color to push the "concept" of the piece. I'm undecided on where the two will meet. I'm approaching the girl as a complete B&W drawing that can stand on it's own, but keeping the option of it becoming an underpainting, with some color being added, in the back of my mind.

I love these WIP posts. The transformation is like magic to a non-artist.

Go, Gail!

Gail, Aren't I your biggest fan?
I NEED to win a print of this WIP because blowing bubbles is one of my favorite just for fun activities.

Yeah, Charline I think you are one of my biggest fans. Just keep coming back and leaving a comment each day so you can keep up with Angela for the number of drawing entries. Did I mention this will be a full size print? ;)


Thanks for taking a look,
