Woodley finished!

Managed to finish Woodley this afternoon, just in time as I am going interstate tomorrow for a week so I really wanted it done.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  It certainly is time consuming drawing dog fur with coloured pencils but I enjoyed it.

New oil paint set!

Progress

This is what it looks like after drawing session 3, I was starting to go cross-eyed drawing all that fur!  Still more to do....

WIP

Started Woodley's portrait today in coloured pencil on grey pastel paper.  I chose grey because I thought his gold fur would show up better on it than white paper.  The eyes are basically done, more work needed on the nose and mouth and then I have to tackle the hard part, the fur!  I'm happy with the way it's looking so far, definitely have a likeness already.

Cat

My first drawing using my new pencils!  Rendering the fur was very tedious but I'm happy with the results.
