....these "pet" drawings are going well...i'm really not sure where they are taking me...but, i'm enjoying doing them...the cats and dogs are very complementary and their owners seem to be pleased as well...the boxer on the left..."Cherry" is Maggie's puppy... i'm not sure if i am going to add color to Cherry, i kind a like how it works with just the values...

...and the shaggy one to the right "Shelby" belonged to Tanya...who is also the proud mommy of "Holly" the cool brown/blue/purple puppy below this post.

so i stop getting complaints from the canine community

about being bias towards cats... one of the dogs that my friend tanya has...

this is Miss. Jessi's kitty...same technique as previous soft'n'fluffy's

another in the "soft"n"fluffy" series...."Thursday"

i did the drawing the way i normally do...2-b on strathmoor...then gave it a little spray of fixative...and broke out my trusty prismacolor pencils....i'm livin' on the wild side now!!!!

cats and a dog...done with my trusty staedtler 925 .07 2-B lead mechanical pencil on good old strathmoor...from top to bottom we have "Stewie"..."Oscar"...and " KittyKitty"...approx size about 11"x 13"

a little Tommy Lee Jones...looked at "No Country for Old Men" and this was my take....now i have had a friend look at this and see Ronald Reagan...Ronny had a much more involved turkey watel neck and smiled more....alzheimer's does that....keeps you silly happy...

i needed to do a drawing of little 9yr old Christina Green....which i sent to her parents.

she was at congresswoman's Gabby Gifford's rally...this little girl was there to be a part of the excitment...to learn more about government...to see Mrs. Gifford...she was in 4th grade...she had big beautiful brown eye's...there are no words that i can come up with to make any sence out of this...only an image of someones daughter...the Green family's daughter...r.i.p.
