Buy one of my drawings
At long last we now can watch Discovery channel in Gouda. For years the local cable company held on to the principle that as long as there was one old lady who didn’t want to watch anything but the Dutch channels, cable should be as cheap as possible. So we had the Dutch channels and several home shopping channels but nothing that could raise either the fee or your interest.
One of my favorite shows on Discovery channel is the one about the Orange County Choppers shop. I like to see how those people make the most complicated and beautiful bikes.
In one of there shows they made a tribute chopper for David Mann (Wikipedia). For that bike they had an artist do a rendering of flames on the frame.
I thought doing a drawing of flames would be a nice opportunity do have another go with the pencil on pencil blending method.

In real life it’s quite a nice drawing but sadly the scanner isn’t able to pick up all the colors. The flamy part is actually three colors. Flowing from dark purple in the middle to orange/yellow at the edge.
I’ll have to come back on this drawing.
Drawing hack
In kindergarten we’ve all learned that it is something of a deadly sin to color outside of the lines. But when you adhere to that rule you might get something like the orange in my drawing Apples and pears. Not very real, is it.
If you look closely at “Flames” you could see that there are a few green patches on the edge between yellow and blue.
If your hands are steady enough to color right up to the line, by all means do. But when you’re presented with the option to either color outside of the lines or or leave some white. Draw outside of the lines. Nobody will see the mixture of colors when you do, but leave a bit of white and it will stick out like a sore thumb

On Wagonized you’ll find drawings by France Belleville. His drawings, both with pencil and with pen, are about people, ladies (cars 
), dogs and every day items.
Today I have a second link for you. After writing about Wagonized I remembered that I had planned to give you this link to David Mann’s art.
