I drew this late last night when I couldn't sleep. I pinched a nerve in my back yesterday morning while drying my feet (maybe towels should have a warning on them : not for use on lower extremities, may cause sever back injury!). I have figured out that pain and concentrated drawing do not go together!
I thought I would try adding a little color and see what I thought, I like it. The combination of the two is nice. Again this is part of a black and white image I took several years ago, the other glove is holding an apple, I just could not relax enough to draw both. I have found that working from black and white images helps to clarify the tonal ranges for pen and ink and I don't feel like I am trying to recreate the picture, like I do when I paint using a colored picture.

Very good, Tami. I do like it better with color. I like the color you chose, as well. Hope the back improves soon!
Great was to work out some tension! Thanks for visiting my site today!!
FANTASTIC!!! SUPERB lines with ink and just brilliant with color!! LOVE IT!!!!!! MORE!!! Hope your back is better!
Thanks you guys! I enjoy looking at each of your sketches and such, as well!
Yes!!! I love these two---just did a sketch with a garden glove, too, and have another in mind to compare the effects of different colored pencils! We're on the same wavelength--even down to the pinched nerve thing---me and my propensity for hefting huge terra cotta pots with small trees in them. Hope yours gets better soon.
