Colorado Drawings To Snowmass

Yesterday I posted a sketch taken from an old 5 x 8 inch sketchbook that I took along on a trip to Colorado in the 1980s. I am doing a series of drawings based on the sketchbook, so today I traced over a print-out of the original sketch so I could use graphite paper to transfer it into my new sketchbook (also 5 x 8 inches). Then I added a few lines with pencil and ruler, as well as the words "To Snowmass," which appear in the original sketch. Then I began to draw into it, first with fine-line marker, and then with a combination of conte crayon and some soft colored pencils.
