It's finally finished, I've had relationships that haven't lasted as long as it's taken to do the background!!! No title as yet, any suggestions? drawn on Bristol Board size 12 x 8 inches time take....to many....lol

This seems to be taking forever, note to self... next time just sit it on a stick...lol The wooden background is around half way completed so a couple of more days should see this finished....

Thought I would show this WIP of a Coal Tit study, so far around 10 hours work has gone into this, with at least the same to go again until finished....

This new drawing is as good as finished, no title as yet. I've perched him as you can see on a wire for a change, the sparrow pic was taken in my garden earlier this year. Drawing measures about 11x4 inches on bristol board, hope to have him framed this weekend.

Sparrow

Ive been working on a portrait for the last few days, but thought I would have a break and draw a one of my fav subjects, I hope to show this house sparrow work in a exhibition of my bird drawings at Attenborough Nature Reserve in November. Ill show more when completed..

A New Drawing Begins...

This is the work so far accomplished on a new drawing, no prizes for guessing what type of bird it is.... more as I progress

Long Tailed Tit

New Drawing of a Long Tailed Tit, I know my sister likes these so I hope she's happy with this drawing.. drawn on Mellotex approx 13 x 6 inches.
As you can see from the second pic I've added a leaf as I think this balances the drawing, it hasnt photographed very well so sorry for that...

New Drawing Completed...

Finished this New Work (still no title) around an hour ago, drawn on Mellotex paper, and measuring approx 15 x 11 inches, around 35 hours drawing time on this one, will give it the once over tomorrow and then mount and frame it ready for the exhibition in March...

New Work in progress

Just to show that I have been at the drawing board since Christmas, here is a new piece as yet untitled, still a bit to do on this as there will be more barbed wire and grass,to the right and left hand side. I have included a close up as I often get asked for these shots, hope you like it so far....

Irish Setter completed

Just waiting for the ok from the owner to be able to call this finished, maybe the odd tweak here and there before I sign it...

''The Look Out'' Goldfinch in Coloured pencils

As you can see I have had another go with the coloured pencils, this is the morphing of two different photo's taken in my back garden, still need to practice more as they are completely different to the good old graphite's I'm used to... drawing is approx 11 x 4 inches, drawn on Mellotex,

Two First Places

Miniture Drawing

Contemplation
