Eric & Liz's children

As Christmas gifts for our children in 2019 I drew portraits of our 17 grandchildren, using student-grade colored pencils and toned paper for most of the drawings.  I struggled and struggled with the tones, the depth of contrast, and when trying to erase a color when it wasn't working.  (It was like attempting to erase wax!)  In the process, I learned why professional artists prefer Prismacolors!  I have my own wonderful set now!
