Description
This year I'm participating in Operation Gaia again, and the theme I chose was "Nest". I should be able to share the finished painting soon, but for now, here is the toned paper sketch I did.Graphite and white charcoal on toned gray paper, 9X12 inches.

So cool. I really love seeing the differences between your sketch and the colored one and just being able to see the lines on their own.

Very interesting to see the preliminary sketch too and how it changed in the final version.

I love the use of white and black on toned/colored paper. Not enough artists use it. ^_*

This is so beautiful! The dark and light of the graphite and charcoal creates a silvery appearance that is very elegant looking. Those details are incredible, and I agree that this piece has a lot of emotion. Wonderful work!

I love the emotions you catch in the bird's eyes. Your work always draws in the viewer with motion and expression. Brilliantly done as usual, I look forward to seeing the finished project.
