Christmas Bauble

Christmas twinkle lights are awesome. They get you feeling the holiday spirit no matter the time of year. My wife’s one requirement for our wedding was that we have twinkle lights in the church and reception! This simple graphite drawing is an attempt to capture the “bokeh” (or blurred) lights in the background and the reflections in the shiny bauble, and still keep the contrast strong. It can be difficult to get real dark darks with pencil. Hopefully it says “cozy Christmas”.
