10 x 15 Colored PencilsIt's really funny, visiting the Louvre a few weeks ago I took some pictures of a few statues wanting to draw them and lo and behold this is the exercise Karin from DSFDF gives us.
So I was happy to practice.
As I was drawing this piece I started seeing the love between these two in a much deeper fashion then when I first glanced at it, hence the title.

Dang Girlfriend! This deserved 3 snaps and an "uh-huh!"
Amazing job and I love you using the toned paper!
Okay... I'm going to be completely bald by the time I even get started on this after pulling my hair out.
hahaha.... do you remember the wigs we drew, you could be blonde ; ) just kidding
Thanks Sheila
I agree with Irit, and I love your color choice of the paper and colored pencils. Wow!
The hound is excellent and I can see her devotion and love for him. You nailed it, Dominique! Great Job!!
This is really nice Dominique, lovely palette too!
This is a blockbuster drawing! No more no less!
Dominique this is beautiful, especially with those purple shadows. Great looking piece.
Wow, you are really skilled in ink, paint, and pencils too. This is really wonderful, I love the purple touches!
Carol, Thank you. It's really interesting how you start seeing things after you step into the project, like the love between them that really popped out at me even more while drawing it.
Dana , Thank you
Adebanji,

Liz, Thank you I appreciate you stopping by
Dominique, I am so wow'd by this...it is stunning! Love the color! What type of paper did you use?
This is so alive - love the colors!
Very beautifully done. I think colored pencil was a very good medium to choose for this challenge.
I have to agree with Irit -- the best so far! This piece has such a feeling of energy flowing all through and around it, and the lines are soooo graceful. I just knew you were going to pull out something really extra special this time, I just knew it!
Michelle, Thanks, it was fun to do also. The paper is smooth color Canson.
Barb, Thank you : )
Carol, Thank you
Camille , Can I hire you .......... : ) as a cheerleader . Thank you
WOW, Dominique - outstanding job!
Dominique! Wow! What iridescence. The glowing parts look like they are coated with mercury. Beautiful color combination. You did an amazing job.
Well, Dominique, at first I was wondering why you posted one of your photos from the Louvre. Then Pokey advised me that it wasn't a photo....Duh. Dee, this is great...may have to run out and get me some colored pencils...and look to your work for inspiration. This one is great!!!
Dominique...Really nice on this one. I thought it was an oil when I first saw it. Good, bold use of color, the green and purple go well together.
Dominique, your drawing really caught my eye! I love the texture of the pencil and especially the beautiful greens and violets together!
Dominique, Well done!
Edward, Thank you : )
Diane, I'm blushing with this comment, thank you
James, ahahah .........tell Pokey and Taco bell they better start painting too ! Thank you my friend

Debbie, thank you so much for your comment.
Kevin, Thanks I appreciate your time here.
Dominique, I feel I'm answering to myself. It's funny I usually don't get someone called by my name.
I've seen your work it's beautiful. Yes we should keep in touch. thanks for coming by.
Wonderful :)
Thanks CArolee
Wow this is brilliant, perfect!
Yummy color choices! Lime and raspberry sherbet comes to mind! And on top of that, the drawing is "right on"! Great job!!!
Diana, Thank you very much
Ann ,
I feel I need to eat it now, ah, ah, Thanks.

Love the title too!
I like the violet shadows here.
Gwen,
Thank you very much, I love the sketch you did for the challenge of James Your talent is wonderful
Thanks Mark, Violet shadows were fun to do.
SOLD!!!!!!!!!YEH!!!!!!YEEPPEE!!!!
THANKS, IRIT : )
What a beautiful drawing this is, Dominique. As the others already mentioned, the combination of colors is just perfect. And, the look between Diana and her "companion" dog is truly touching. Especially knowing how much love dogs give back to us.
P.S. AND, is that a perfect breast or what? If I was "ever" to get mine "lifted" I would bring in a photo of this drawing:)
EPTAS................. ,ha ha, ha, ha, ha...... I did this for ten minutes. OM It's so funny because I did think as I was drawing they looked good.. Question- what's up with all those statues that show all the boobs bare and the rest of the clothes on ????
Thank you for stopping by and making my day .
I had to come back and mention that: "Diana was the perpetual virgin goddess of the hunt."
So, I guess we know what she was hunting for in this scene:D
Have a great weekend, and thanks for the fun!
Except that this was not Diana it's her companion. Karin made the mistake at the beginning and changed it after.
I guess all these statue of girls half naked with good boobs. I guess if your going to sculpt someone it's better be have nice looking body...... and you probably right about the hunt all of them together.
they did not have, photo tells a story, they had ,sculpt and tell ....
This is stunning Dominique!! Took my breath away!
Shelley , Thank you so much
Dominique-This is beautiful, love your color palette and prismacolor technique. Everything here is so well done, especially the SOLD!
ANGELA, Thanks I appreciate you coming by. : )
I also have to echo theo others. Great color choices!!!!

BMoon, Thank you , your style is fab too.
Dominique, great technique with colored pencil, I love the choice of green paper, and the way you have allowed it to peek through some of your pencil work to create such a range of values.
Maryanne, Thank you. I appreciate you coming by.
I liked your rendition very much! Brought the statue to life! Nice flow of energy, and very intriguing use of color selections! kudos!
