9 x 12” Graphite
Watercolor Paper (again)

Ever since I happened upon ~krisa731’s fabulous portfolio series using these sorts of metallic orbs I’ve wanted to try to draw something with them. Hers are a fabulous mixed media concentration and some of my favorites are Magic Carpet Ride?, Have a Cane III, and Hand and Orbs IV
This is nowhere near the awesomeness of her pieces, but I thought I’d give it a try. I used the damn watercolor paper again because it’s the whitest paper I have (everything else is a weird creamy tone) and I thought I might get away with using it, but I had a really hard time trying to make the hand smooth and it shows. Trying to blur the two farthest fingers, the wrist, and the reflection on the second orb had me wanting to rip my hair out, and I just left it as is. Anyway, I’m pretty happy with this drawing, it didn’t take too long which is a bonus since I have seven other drawings to finish and send out to people. Oi!
