Hi everyone,

I posted this in another forum, but I think that may have been the wrong place for it, as this forum seems to be more closely linked to the topic of my question...

I'm completely new to fairs and I'm about to start sending out applications in July for a couple of Fall festivals. I'm worried though that my medium might not be accepted into many fairs... I do wildlife art in graphite in a "fantastical realism" style and I do traditional wildlife art in colored pencil. I'm new to colored pencil though, so I don't think my colored pencil drawings will get accepted; consequently I wasn't planning on submitting those ones for consideration. So that leaves my graphite drawings - but I'm not sure if jurists will be keen on graphite artwork...Can everyone please give me your opinions?

I'm including a picture here of each of my types of drawing. Please keep in mind that the graphite drawing I'm posting here is more "cutesy" than my usual type of graphite drawings (although I do often lean toward the whimsical or humorous in my graphite drawings). These are the only pieces I currently have pictures of (I'm getting professional photos taken of all of my pieces before I apply for the festivals). My colored pencil drawings usually have a background - these two pieces are just studies, but as you can see, I'm still a beginner at colored pencil, which is why I'm not planning to submit those. Nevertheless I'm including them for you to see just in case...
