magic colored pencils

 i've previously posted about both lilly piri & fumi mini nakamara, so i'm thrilled that they currently have a joint show up at thinkspace right now. i love love love work done in colored pencil. it has a soft, dreamy effect that i melt over. the subtle details and near flawless execution of the medium by these two makes me wish i lived in california just so i could go and stare at these drawings everyday. i'm especially in awe of the above pieces, the shape shifter series by fumi and this lovely rendition by lili of helen of troy being hatched from her egg. she was one of the twins conceived by leda via zeus as a swan.
