Description
UnsungMediums Crayon Challenge Contest SubmissionThis is my entry into crayon contest . . . the original picture was taken by and I printed it up and went completely old school at my mother-in-law's house . . . I had it propped up in front of me and FREEHANDED THIS WITH CRAYON!
No Tracing. No Computer. Not even a pencil. Just me, the printout, a box of 96 crayolas and a 9"x12" piece of Bristol!
I think I can be justifiably proud of myself for this . . . even if I don't win.
But . . . go . . . go . . . GO AND ENTER! This was SOOOOO much fun to do! [link]

Wow. . . this is really beautiful. And it's with crayons! Even better; those poor little crayons are such an unappreciated tool of trade, it's great to see them used to create such a beautiful work of art.

Crayons - DEFINITELY unappreciated - you should check out the group (if you haven't already! i've been on vacation!

It's beautiful! I've never been very handy at using crayon and I totally applaud you for it!
(and you say you can't do traditional media anymore!!! HAH!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The trick I discovered is that you can't overwork it . . . too many layers and nothing goes down 
It was a lot of fun . . . I guess I can do "traditional" media still 
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yup, i had that problem too - but i actually found a way around it for the background area.....and i did do some scraping as well to get some effects in there. it WAS soooo fun
and yes, it should count as traditional!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not using a computer, so I count it!
I'm curious to try now, but I'd have to see if I even have any crayons anymore. Plus, I wouldn't know what pic to do... :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
go ahead! plenty of pics to choose from (thats why i put up a little suggestion page of art) pick one, if you want a closer look, tell me so i can send you a link to the bigger piece....
at any rate, its just a bit of fun and theres still time - whats to lose?
