Ballet Shoes and Broken Pencils

I thought I should actually do something while sitting on my butt in the evenings! Obviously oils and pastels are out of the questions especially as I am such a messy painter.

A while back I had bought a Cretacolor Sanguine Dry pencil , it had been sitting on my table unused and unloved for way too long. So I got out my craft knife, sharpened it to a point and to a point, and to a point again, and although I was able to use it for this drawing almost half the pencil is now gone :( I guess it must have been broken inside, perhaps dropped on the floor or mishandled in some way before it was shipped to me. It's disappointing because while there is half a pencil left, I still can't sharpen it without the lead breaking off!

Off to a good start

All finished. The drawing and the pencil!
