“Sandbridge Beach” (sketch pencils, colored pencil (light brushing))

Inspiration: me sitting outside my beach house in Sandbridge Beach, Virginia. I looked around, enjoying the nice weather while it lasted (the entire week we were there it was cloudy and rainy), and I thought “I should draw this, make a memory.” and so I did!

Meaning: I think viewers can get a sense of beauty and admiration from the ocean and the view from my house. I want viewers to try and draw from life rather than draw from a reference or from the internet. It really helps an artist improve their skills in aspects like reflections, shading, weighting, etc!
