Gump and Rosie, 9″ x 12″ pencil in progress
More pencils I have been working on. Now using the 005 HB mechanical pencil with a Staedtler 6B for extra dark bits (pupils, nostrils and a few other spots). They needed names, so they are Gump & Rosie.

Sometimes I get to a certain point and set it aside. This last one has been at this stage for a couple weeks and it’s not done but I haven’t decided what else to do with it. I think a background but I fear all the inevitable smudging.

Hello to Paint Party Friday and thank you to all the recent visitors! It’s nice to be back in action. :D
They are great. I really love pencil works. Have a great week.
Oh my goodness…your characters truly make me smile so much… I love how their personalities pop off the page… They make me so happy!!

The guy on the top is so cute!
Not used to seeing your work in pencil instead of Copics!
Cool change!
I like your new style…..looks like you can get alot more details then copics. …and B&W also sharpens the details even more. Look forward to seeing them finished!
Pretty cute pairings!
Cindy, nice use of a mechanical pencil. I like the control of details mechanical pencils help you achieve.
omg, your work is so awesome! So full of imagination. The shading is wonderful too. Thanks for sharing this. xx
Gump & Rosie are adorable & I guess you are really enjoying the mechanical pencil! You go girl! & again don’t forget “the book”-with so many of your characters! OX OX Mom
I’m back! I’m back! (Or at least I think I am?) You have been busy in black and white – wow. SO much depth. Their eyes are so alive. And their noses so… intriguing! Does that make me officially weird? I am doing a nose study on your creatures!:-)
How talented you are! Your works in pencil are every bit as cool as your work in color, Cindy.
