Abouna Panak has many secrets, which he must keep to himself, but as Field Marshal, he is in the unenviable position to influence the future of humankind. (Happy New Year, and please excuse my first ever experiment with coloured pencils, a bit psychedelic maybe?) CLICK HERE for next chronological story.

Thank you 🙂
Cheryl! Great story once again! And you added color to your drawings! I REALLY LIKE THIS! It adds more depth to the characters. Makes them “realistic” and believable. LOVE IT!
Oh by the way…HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thanks Mark, that’s a compliment coming from you. I miss your drawings btw.
Cheryl, I love the color! I am a huge black and white fan but this is cool.
Thank you 🙂
superb read & hand drawing arts!!!
Thank you 🙂
A superb continuation of the story. More hope on the way for me. The colour is fantastic, you’ve done a superb job. Nothing psychadelic about it at all.

Thanks, David, glad you like it and Happy New Year to you too 🙂
wow I loved the dash of color!!! 🙂 looks pretty awesome 🙂
Thank you 🙂
A great change, Cheryl!
This is, what, sketching and using colour pencils? That’s it?
I find the last sketch of Panak very well done. The lines and furrows are well defined!
Thanks Fayesal, I think I may use paint next time, glad you like it.
Love the color addition to the post!!
Thank you 🙂

Thanks, Rae 🙂
Yes! Great plot development. Intriguing. The drawings are beautiful… Especially the more intimate portraits.

Ahhh. No more black and white. The color is nice.
Thanks Jeff! 🙂
Hi Cheryl, wow, I love the colour! It’s not so much that that’s psychedelic though – the inside of Panak’s head is positively out there – love the disjointed oddness of this scene!
Thanks, Richard, glad you like it, yes Panak is complicated. He’s one of my favourites, always very interesting to write because he’s so unpredictable. BTW I’m going over to your blog now to do some catching up. (been working evening shifts at work, sorry for the delay)
Very nice artistry work. I like what you did with the colored pencils – not too psydellic at all. Interesting story too.
Thanks, Tena! 🙂
and then the vivid colour – really stands out yet draws in (no pun intended ). cheers!
