My first work in only colored pencil. I think this piece is good, but I think my colored pencil work is best with line work as well. It's hard to define your lines with colored pencil without ruining the integrity of the drawing. This principle is similar with prisma pencils as well. The point of them is to create realistic type of artwork without the use of lines.
I really enjoyed working with the grass, and I like the effect it has on the foreground. This definitely looks better than if I had just tried coloring the hills green. If I had to redo anything in this project I would fix the silhouette of the volcano in the background. After coloring for some time I thought it would be unique to have a dark silhouette of the volcano to contrast the sunset. That along with the veins of lava do not look very profound. This just goes to show that my skill in complete colored pencil is still at it's odds. I'm not giving up on this technique, I just need to stick with using lines and edges as a guide for now. This piece is cool but I think that my best work involves colored pencils and line-work.
