New calendar for sale on my Etsy Store only $24 ... here www.etsy.com/shop/SamNagel

I've been working on creating three 2013 calendars with all of my new artwork. It's a desk calendar that is a monthly tear away, and comes with a mini easel for display. I'm also giving one calendar away to a lucky person who 'likes' my facebook page Art by Sam Nagel . And if you share one of the calendar photos you get a second entry into the drawing! so check it out and share!

Ripple Effect

I decided to break out my old pencil rendering skills and see what I could come up with for this new card. When I first started out making art I only drew with graphite for years. I swore back then that I was happy drawing super realism in black and white and didn't have the desire to dabble in color or paint... I find that very funny now. It turns out that I love painting more than anything, and drawing in pencil is more tedious than I remember, but still enjoyable. I'm glad that I can combine my pencil work with my digital painting like above. So I used color pencil (who needs erasers?), scanned and combined the two drawings in photoshop, then digitally colored.
