Paper Bag Study 3

My third in a series of three paper bag studies. I used charcoal, graphite, colored pencils and a pitt pen. I really like the effect of colored pencils on the paper bag. Even though I know our eyes are not exactly symmetrical, I always try to get them exactly perfect. I missed perfection in this one. I'm just happy that I'm drawing something everyday.

Great idea Marilyn... and brave you to commit to drawing every day. I'm like you and try to get everything exactly perfect, but oddly when I make a mistake is when it comes out looking better, lol!
