As I have mentioned elsewhere, I've been reading up on colored pencil techniques. I decided to try some of them out on this page of a MOOSE! Overall, I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. I can see areas I am not quite happy with, but that's partly because I know they are there I'm sure. I feel like I have too much red in the antler on the right. The more I messed with it, the unhappier I became, so I just left it alone eventually. I also think I used strokes that were too big on the face and ended up having to blend it too much so I lost a lot of the "hair/fur" look. I'm pretty happy with how the body turned out. I think the leaves also turned out pretty well. Looking at it again now, I think the cattails could have been a little bit darker.

Overall, I have fun trying new things and MOOSE!

I can't recall if this was out of the Naturescapes book or another animal book I have.

I like it! I've never used colored pencils and don't know anything about the techniques for using them, but to me this looks very realistically colored and has good blending and textures. Also like the moose!

  Pearls 2: Michael, Shoshanna, et al
  
  Ok. ISB joyride time. Is the poem about:
  
  1. Finding out that her ex-husband has a new partner?
  
  2. Finding out that she's been dumped by her boyfriend for one of her friends?
  
  3. Finding out that Lauren has a new job?
  
  4. Finding out that one of her Plexus downline has managed to take most of her "customers" and is now Platinum?

  Josh & Anna 58: Losing JB's Money All the Way to the Supreme Court

  Pulling this over from the Josiah thread. I'm doubt JB checked on Josh after he and Anna married. Josh says he's been reformed? Praise Jesus! He hasn't reformed? Well shame on Anna for not being the perfect enough wife. JB's a horrible human and a controlling, domineering individual but I'm not convinced he continued to micromanage Josh after he moved out.
  
  JB and Michelle were happy when Josh married Anna because now he was her problem. Once married, if Josh got in trouble it was due to his wife’s shortcomings, not due to his upbringing. Yeah, they were happy to foist blame to Anna.
  
  I’m not sure JB would have thought Josh was viewing csam online. He may have thought Josh might look at adult porn, but figured that was Anna’s responsibility to monitor. JB probably figured Josh was out of the way at the car lot and out of the public eye and that’s why JB set him up in business there. No need to really monitor him much as it was low key, nothing too exciting for the media to latch on to. Until….

  Bontragers/Bowers/Helferichs 13: In the Middle of Jesus’ First Relationship
  
  Another Pelaiah sighting in the reel their aunt posted. I'm not usually that interested in the Bowers family, but this whole thing has me intrigued...

  Are they teachers? They started getting to know each other last August working at a school. I guess I wouldn't be too surprised if they were. Austin has a niece from one of his older half siblings that is a teacher.
  
  Go RSVP and type Lauren Duggar.
  
  Ah, smart thinking! I didn't check that out
  
  And yes, they have something to do with the school at church, but I don't think either one of them are teachers (as in qualified educators with real degrees). From the GLBC homepage:
