Old and new

Here are a couple of pencil color drawings I made ... one recent and one older one ...
They are not really good ... or at least as good as I'd like them to be, but I came to realize its not very easy to get the desired effect using pencil colors.
But anyway, I love to draw, and I love colors ...

Both are beautiful drawings. Yes, its difficult to get the true result with coloured pencils. Black & white pencil drawings sometimes do wonders.

Which one is the recent one?
Good job. :))

So pretty!! The pastel effect is lovely! You know, I am thinking that both of them - the butterfly and the bird are lively creatures, yet the subdued pastel is looking so appealing and complimenting their true characters. Your sence of color and detail is splendid! Its lovely!

Thanks, Cuckoo. The butterfly is recent.
I am working on another pencil sketch these days. I'll upload it when and if it gets completed. Meanwhile I can post the pics of myself making that sketch :-)) (my husband was experimenting with the camera while i was doing that sketch :-) )

Amrita, you make me blush :-) I have a terrible confession to make - for most part, the color scheme is not my own ... its "inspired" :-)

I love birds and butterflies and your drawings are so lovely (must have your permission to "steal" the design on the butterfly) for my next crazy patchwork project.
I think drawing pictures and sewing can be equally relaxing!
I hope to see more of your lovely drawings on your blog soon! :-)

Thank you, Thinker, Prashant :-)

Thanks Ginco. You are most welcome to re-use the pattern. :-)
