Ms. Scarlett Johansson

I just LOVE her!  I think she is gorgeous and she's so much fun to draw!  The hair isn't as perfect as I would like it to be, but there's only so much you can do with colored pencil.  I added the lavender color in the background because I think it looks lovely with her blonde hair and skin tone.

What This Blog Is About

My name is Candy and I am a freelance artist.  I mostly focus on portraits in oil paint, pastel pencil, and graphite pencil.  I am trying to get my art career off the ground and I figured that an art blog is an important step towards making that happen.  This will be a place for me to post my thoughts about my art as well as work-in-progress (WIP) photos of my current projects. 

As well as this blog, I have an official formal website for my art:

A DeviantArt Profile:

And finally, a Facebook page:

So, as you can see, there are plenty of ways you can connect with me and my art! :)  If you like what you see here, please feel free to follow this blog or "Like" the Facebook page, whatever you wish.

I am taking commissions, so if you would like anything done, please leave me a comment here and I'll let you know how to contact me.  If you are going to leave a comment, please at least leave a name so I know who I am talking to.  
Anyway, I'm looking forward to hopefully getting some galleries up if I can figure out how to do it, lol.  See you all soon!
