Tiger WIP 1

I have finally started another drawing. Here is the progress on the drawing so far. I will try to take a better photo of it with actual light tomorrow. This is the Siberian Tiger, Luna, from Zoo Montana. Unfortunately she passed away on Sunday, June 28th of this year.

Cooper's Hawk Finished

Here is the completed drawing of the Cooper's Hawk. It is 5" x 7".

Cooper's Hawk WIP2-3

Here are two more images as I have been working on this hawk (taken with my cell phone camera ~ sorry for the picture quality).

Cooper's Hawk WIP1

I have began drawing a Cooper's Hawk. Here is the progress so far, a light outline and some light shading.

Firefly ~ The Alpaca

I just completed this drawing of "Firefly", a blue-eyed alpaca belonging to Lunatic Fringe Alpacas. I thought she was just beautiful, especially those eyes! I seriously thought of adding a little blue somehow to this drawing. I'm calling it complete for now, but may still change my mind and add some blue tint. Still debating. This drawing is close to 5" x 7". I will edit this post later when I remember to see what paper I used (hahaha--I have so many samples to try, I have no idea what I'm using??). I liked this paper. I thought it took darks fairly well. The only problem is that repeat layers did seem to bring up fibers of the paper. Soooo, still not the perfect paper for me, but definitely something I would purchase and use again.

Thank you Donna for showing us your alpacas and letting me take a few good pictures.

The original drawing is for sale. Please contact me for price.

Britt Completed

"Britt", the Chihuahua, is finished. Took me a couple days to get this image on here, but better late than never right. I'm going to have to try a different paper for the next mini I do. I don't think this paper is very good for getting the tone differences that I am capable of getting with each pencil.

Britt ~ Chihuahua Drawing WIP 1

I have been seeing some "mini" drawings lately and thought I'd give it a try :)
This drawing is of a Chihuahua named Britt. It is 4" x 6". Britt belongs to my Aunt Ivy of Lamars Doghouse. The picture I am using to draw from was taken by Ivy. I thought Britt would be a perfect subject to draw for a mini drawing, since she is pretty mini herself :)

Rabbit Is Complete

The Rabbit drawing is finally complete. I have come to the conclusion that I am not meant to draw so much confusing ground cover. It was overwhelming. I will need to work on some way of simplifying, or drawing to give the effect of something without actually drawing in all the detail. That will be something to work on at a later time, though, on a different drawing. I actually didn't mind the pine needles that were still on the branches :) I just didn't like the pine needles that were on the ground. This drawing is appoximately 8" x 10".

Rabbit WIP 5

More updates as of today on the rabbit. I need to hurry up and get this little guy (or gal) done. Then on to the next project. For some reason I can't seem to do more than one drawing at a time.

Rabbit WIP 4

I haven't posted in a while (nice weather, new camera lens, whatever my excuse may be). I have worked on my rabbit off and on and thought I better post the progress, so here it is as of today:
