Well I decided to crawl out from the rock I've been under and submit something. I had started this quite a bit ago but got a little sidetracked when I got engaged lol Needless to say that when that happened the art went on the back burner. But my fiance is now back in Italy for a few more months so I needed something to occupy my time so I decided to bring the art back out. As badly as I wanted to start something new it just didn't feel right to leave this unfinished so I trucked on.

I found this photo on sxc.hu. I just thought it was really adorable. The original can be seen here I liked the way it was sort of bleached out but I wanted to give it a bit more contrast. I thought it was so cute that I failed to realize what a pain the hat was going to be. Half the time I couldn't follow the pattern on it so I created it myself. Actually, it caused such eye strain that I made an optomitrist appointment for june 26th lol I think the old glasses need a boost after that little project

Anyway, I'm a little miffed that the scan made it look slightly blurry. Nobody else seems to see it but it looks kinda blurry to me. But my scanner/printer combo has been on the fritz lately and I have no doubt thats got everything to do with it. I'm not sure of how I feel about it on the whole. I spent so much time on it over the last month or two that I hate to not like it lol I think the little kid is cute though lol And most of the hat was done while on the phone with my fiance so that brings back a happy memory too lol

Specs:
9X12 on canson classic cream drawing paper
B-6B Carbon pencils ::hugs the carbon pencils::
Time: No clue. many...many... MANY hours.

hope y'all enjoy!
