Santa star


I have a small ornament collection of Santa faces. It's time to draw them before they go back into the attic for their long hibernation.

Process: water-dipped pencil and washed pencil for color on a frame of tech pen.

I could have planned differently, doing this in a small Moleskine, but now I kind of like the seam there. Adds flavor.

This is very sweet, Nita. I love the expression on his face. And I'm always drawing across a page spread, so seams are a constant in my life---didn't even notice yours until you mentioned it ;D.

It's very nice - a different take on Christmas, away from the usual images. Like Laura, I didn't notice the page seam. I always like it when my images cross the divide.
