A couple of new drawings

These two new drawings are quite small 6x4" Faber Castell Polychromos on Pastelmatt.

I had the urge to get back to my favourite subject of animals, and found it very satisfying. 

The scan of the Owl is pretty grim, very grainy (not sure why) the original is much smoother looking. 



I am hoping to get some prints done of these little ones to sell online...we'll see.

The Old Breakwater - Porlock Weir

I don't often post here now, sadly I think almost everyone has moved to facebook, blogs seem to becoming a little redundant. Sometimes I think there is no-one out there?

Anyway this is my latest small drawing. 'The Old Breakwater-Porlock Weir' done on Fabriano Artistico HP paper (my favourite support for coloured pencils) using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. Size is 6"x6". I do quite enjoy doing these little ones as they don't take very long to do so I dont get fed up with them.

Size: 7" x 5". Pencils: Faber Castell Polychromos on Fabriano Artistico HP paper.
