i've got the blues inside and outside my head

This was one of the drawings that I got really frustrated with last weekend. It was originally meant to be three pencils, and was going to be for Illustration Friday's 'the Blues' theme. Anyway one of the pencils went wrong which explains the pretty bad crop.

I haven't really got the blues inside my head (today), it's just a great line. And, I'm trying to see how many times I can quote Joni on this blog. I'm averaging about once every other post.

Wow. You must have used a ruler for those points. Great job. I guess I should look at my art supplies (and tubes, etc) with a different eye.

Blue is just such a classic; I like how you try to weave it in wherever possible ;-) Great sketch: I like your attenttion to detail.

I could have used my recent 'blue' post for the IF theme I suppose, but didn't because it isn't finished.

Have to and put Joni on now :-)
