Back to the drawing board!

After a busy few weeks revising and working, I'm happy to share with you the progress of this drawing which is slowly getting there....

Alert Hare

Hi everyone I'de like to introduce you to my latest drawing titled 'Alert Hare' (I am not very imaginative when it comes to names!) this was done using graphite and is A3 size. I am particularly pleased with the long whiskers and the detail in his beady eye as you can see below.

He will be my first picture to hang in the Richmond Station on the 14th July for the 'Spot on the Wall' exhibition, this is where artists can 'buy' one space to hang one piece of artwork over 10 weeks and once the first piece is sold the artist replaces it. 

-Lets hope this 'Alert Hare' isn't around for long :)

New Hare!!

New Hare pencil drawing in progress!

I have entered this years 'Spot on The Wall' at Richmond Station due to start on the 14th July, here is the Hare drawing that I am hoping to submit :)

Originals Framed!!

Here is a photograph I took of the two finished Cockerels together framed, they were both drawn with faber Castell pencil crayons onto Fine grain- Heavy white water colour paper. I love this paper as I am able to blend and layer pencil marks without the paper sagging. Both drawings are A4 and with the simple oak frames measure 32 cm x 42 cm perfect size for any home!

'Cock-a-doodle-do'

This is the companion cockerel drawing titled- 'Poised for an Instant'

'Best foot forward'

Here is a photo of my latest drawing- 'Best foot forward' 

Tommy the Tup is completed!

After todays work on the foreground I have completed my Swaledale Tup drawing, and have decided to name him - 'Tommy the Tup' after his owner. I used a mechanical 0.5 Faber Castell mechanical pencil to draw the horns and 8B, 9B pencils for the face and foreground. It took me around 8hours to complete and measures 29cm x 19cm.

Todays progress- nearly there!!

Tommy the Tup now has horns!!

Inspiration??

After an amazing few days away in Edinburgh Im back home with the weather to match my mood- dull 

Where has all that beautiful sunshine gone?? 

So time to get back to the drawing board, I just need some inspiration for my next drawing I'm thinking something to celebrate spring- maybe the lambs playing in my back field

... Or this cheeky chappie that made my visit to the zoo in Edinburgh
