Thank you.I did this a while ago as a way of getting back into biro drawing as I hadn't done much for years.

Amazing! I like how the drawing is dark so that you can see all of the lines! Everyone is always telling me to not be afraid of going darker on my drawings....you have shown a perfect example of what I should do. Amazing work! XD

Wow, tank you for your lovely comments. I am glad I have inspired you. It is indeed a difficult balance to know when to go darker or lighter. I have a tendency to overwork mine and go too dark so I guess we all tend towards one end of the spectrum or the other!

You are welcome And you are right, we do tend to go lighter or darker!

Thank you. Yes, it was quite slow but I never really time myself when drawing as I just get into the zone and enjoy it!

Cool. It's good to have aspirations and aim high but there are many great universities. I went to Cardiff and had a fab time. Good luck with your studies

Thank you so much. I am pleased with it but I would have liked to have captured the lighter areas more delicately. I always overwork my drawings and go too dark!

Thanks! I'm toying with the idea of adding a wash of colour to the background for contrast (e.g. sunset colours), what do you think?

this is just EPIC! i mean, all that fur must have just taken ages to do! and the shading is great aswell, im totally jealous right now

shelleysupernova In reply to IzEllie [2011-06-17 19:17:52 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much. The fur took a long time but luckily the picture is quite small (slightly smaller than A3) so it was manageable. There is also something very therapeutic about the repetitive technique of drawing fur!
