Description This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, and it took about 40 shots to get it right. I was using Crayola pencils, which bore the golden logo that kept shining on other pencils. In this picture, you can faintly see this in a couple of pencils towards the top - I attempted to edit it out in Photoshop, but couldn't get rid of it completely. But since this was the best of the bunch, I thought I'd share it with y'all...hope you enjoy it

Thanks! White is the only one that's actually different than the others...since it's not a color

I've seen this one so many times on the forums, but just never got around to commenting on it. It's perfect! In the full-view, I love the little knicks on the pencils, it gives this 'linear modern' design tons of character. Outstanding concept and great execution. I can't believe this hasn't been a DD yet, even though you couldn't tell by how many faves this has . You deserve every fave you get on this! Congrats on a fresh photo.

Nice, why choose the white to be the one to stick out?

thetopcrusader In reply to Trynottobreathe [2006-08-10 01:19:56 +0000 UTC]

Because white is different since it's not a color.
