Lovely pencilwork Bev. Who doesn't like elephants? Love the size/composition also as it stands out from the normal portrait/landscape views
ReplyDeleteI'm not getting much artwork done just now as we're in the final throes of house repairs/decorating and everything is a bit frantic ... can't wait to get back to normal and settle down with the pencils again!
Hi Sue, Thanks, I found a very old frame in a sort of black and silver antique look and thought it would suit a graphite drawing very well, and so the size and shape was decided for me, but I do like these long narrow shapes anyway.
DeleteAt least there is light at the end of the tunnel now Sue...cant believe how long it's taken you to sort out your house problems.
This is wonderful :D and really great to see the drawing at different stages, helps to see how things came together
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen, I did wonder if it was worth showing the stages so glad you found it useful.
Deletesuperb Bev! My favourite animals in my favourite medium. Lovely sensitive drawing .
ReplyDeleteHi Lesley, I love graphite also and always mean to use it more often but I get sidetracked with coloured pencils....which I love too. In fact there are times I wish there were more hours in the day to try out other mediums, there are so many I want to give a go, but run out of time....aaah well, life gets in the way sometimes :-(
DeleteI really liked this part of the article, with a nice and interesting topics have helped a lot of people who do not challenge things people should know.. You need more publicize this so many people who know about it are rare for people to know this... Success for you.....!!!
