snow day

About 18 inches of snow fell in little Connecticut today! At least in my area. After helping the shoveling and a little playing about in the snow, I decided to check up on some artist blogs and came across Audrey Kawasaki's. I felt intrigued to try out the technique of a simple drawing and cutting out the white spaces. This is a Japanese maple leaf in colored pencil, outlined with a .01 micron pen. Cutting out the white areas was a lot harder than I thought. Those curves really get you! I'll probably give this to my little sister.
