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...
