I have finished my cats eye study in monochrome. I have learnt a lot by doing this short study that I really need to pay attention to the fur direction. I find my eyes gets distracted and I know I can’t possibly do every single hair. I need to work harder on the tonal values …
I have just a very small update with this bay horse. I’m finding it tough going but I will keep going and won’t be too hard on myself. It is all practice and something to look back on in the future as my drawing skill improves and grows. Not every drawing is going to be …
I thought I would have a go at drawing a little quick red robin today. This time of year really does make me feel down in the dumps. I’m now counting the days to the shortest day on 21st December. Like most of us we hate the dark mornings and evenings. But I really do …

I’ve managed some more on my whippet. It isn’t looking too bad. Hopefully I will finish it next week.
I have both ears drawn now. My critical self is saying I can’t do this but I’m trying to ignore it. If I don’t push myself I’m never going to improve my skill so I have to say to myself if I make a mess of it, so be it, it’s a learning curve. It’ll …
