This is for the July CPM challenge: http://coloredpencilmagazine.blogspot.com/2012/08/july-art-challenge-winners.html

This is, quite literally, the first time I have gotten out my full set of colored pencils in well over a year. I’m a little rusty, but the subject matter is very pleasant for reviving those skills. Whenever a take an extended hiatus from a particular medium or style, it usually doesn’t take very long to get back up to speed.
