It's my birthday!

It comes around once a year, and I'm one year older.

I've been working on some sketches from life to sharpen my skills. Here's a still life I did yesterday.

I found out many of my colored pencils are not lightfast. I'm going to have to decide what to do about that. I have so many pencils it's a shame to waste them. But then, it's not a good idea to have pictures that fade.
