Tiger Complete

The tiger is finished! It is approximately 9" x 11" on Fabriano Artistico paper. I didn't have to struggle using this paper, which was wonderful. Thank you Clive for the paper-type suggestion. Hope you all like "Luna". Now to figure out what to draw next???

Tiger WIP 4

I promised a few people I would have an update of the tiger's progress last night. So here it is, a little late on the promise :) Since the last update, I have done adjustments on the chin and a few other little adjustments on other parts already done. We'll see if anyone but me notices those ;) Then I have done the obvious work on the face. I have been mainly using 2H, HB and 2B leads.

Tiger WIP 3

Another update since last night. Enjoy!

Tiger WIP 2

Here is the update on the tiger.

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.
