Dragon Fly

Dragon Fly
5"x7"
Ink, Color Pencil on gray paper

I do so enjoy ink, and like it's traditional black and white, but think when you add a bit of color it transports it to something else.  Watercolor is used quite a bit as color agent, but I prefer the control of the pencils both wax and watercolor and have used a bit of both in this picture.  The toned gray paper really does make color pencil go much faster.
