This is my impression of Dunloe Gap, Ring of Kerry, Ireland, using a Faber-Castell Cobalt Bluish-Greenish Pencil. I am fast discovering that colour pencils are more exciting to draw with and give a more interesting finish at times than the usual soft lead pencil. I have been playing with composition and trying to make my pictures have a more natual look as they tend to be on the heavy side at times.

This is beautiful! I love the range of tones you've achieved with a single blue pencil. The colour also evokes a winter mood.
Thank you! I hadn't actually thought of blue and its association with winter. Good idea for future to associate colour with a season.
Great drawings Kirralee - lots of power in the portrait. I like your blog name too. Your first sketch is very cool, like Kathleen said its very evocative.
