Derek WIP

Hi All

Here is a work in progress of Derek a friend. It is drawn on Drafting Film and I am using Polychromos Coloured Pencils.

Here is the reference photogragh:

Jake

Well I think I have been busy these past few weeks. I have now drawn my first child, completed on Drafting Film with Polychromos Coloured Pencils.

The colours look very bright which is in some part due to the back lighting of the scanner. This has brightened the eyes and skin tones. Anyway here he is:

Lola

I have completed a horse called 'Lola'. On watercolour paper with Coloured Pencils. The finished size is 16 x 12.

I have given her a light background in the stables which I think does not detract from Lola.

Finished Simon

Well I have at last finished Simon the Cat. Put a little more depth in the ears and put a little cold colour into his body and used the blue as a background. I also like the way it 'fills the frame'. This was completed on Drafting Film with Polychromos Colour Pencils.

A little slow in doing some pictures lately but here is a coloured pencil drawing that I am in the process of completing. The is drawn on Polydraw Drafting Film and Polocromos pencils.

I need to finish the background and the rest of the body.

Front of House - Italy

Well just finished this one, the front of my daughters home in Italy.

This was completed from a photograph on Saunders Waterford 300gsm 16x12 paper. I am pleased with this renditioning except for the front door when I should have stopped , but ......

Boyse and Bella - 'Where's that buscuit'

Boyse and Bella completed in Coloured Pencil, Waterford watercolour paper - 16x12 inches

Acrylic Paintings

Some of my acrylic paintings are:

A view of Citta S'Angello of Torremanella, a vineyard in the valley.

Titled 'I wandered Lonely as a Cloud'

Titled 'Sunflowers with Leaves'

Coloured Pencil 'Paintings'

Here are some coloured pencil drawings of animals. I have found animal pictures drawn in coloured pencil easier than in any other medium.
