Graphite Portrait of "Jet"

A portrait I just finished of my British Blue Shorthair Cat, "Jet".

In Graphite, 18 x 18inch on Fabriano Artistico Extra White Hot Pressed Watercolour Paper 300gms.

Pencil Drawing

Over the past few weeks I have had the pleasure of drawing these two lovely horses ... I have done them in Graphite only.  It has been some years since I have drawn horses and I have enjoyed it immensely.

I hope you enjoy them too!

Cheers for now...Jane x

Drawing

 I spent the weekend playing with pencils ... love!

This is a tulip I drew with Prismacolor pencils in my "flower journal" .... my first real attempt at drawing water droplets.   The first layer is blended with Zest It.

A beautiful alpaca drawn in Graphite.  I loved that he had a bit of straw sticking out of his mouth - vcute!

Just had approval to use this beautiful boy's name
"Middle Earth Gandalf "    .... now isn't that special for a beautiful white Alpaca.

Giving up on this one

This is supposed to be a drawing of my husband .. you can see that I haven't finished.    I just can't get the teeth right - he has perfectly straight teeth and the mouth is not right either.   I am declaring defeat and picking another picture where his mouth is closed - lol!

Perhaps I could convince him to do a sitting for me.  I used to do portrait drawing in "quick" 40 minute sittings with pastel, charcoal or graphite ... so many years ago now but the looser quick portrait was enjoyable to do.

Cheers for now
Jane

Pencil drawing

A quick sketch (15 minutes) with graphite ... my son at age 17 - in relaxed company.  I loved the photograph of him here!
