So...it's finished, but I am not happy with the final results at all. I was even debating on posting it or not. I think the darkness of the shadows got a little weird. In the original, half of her face was hidden in shadows. I think it just looks dirty now!

Oh well. Hopefully my next drawing will turn out better!

Thanks to all who view, favour and comment on this - your thoughts are appreciated.

Yay, it's almost finished The fur is terrible to draw just like I feared, but I'm quite happy with the result.

I wanted to give you an update before I have to leave DA for some days/weeks I'm afraid of drawing the fur, I hope it won't be too hard.

Finally an update The reference isn't the best one, I've some trouble drawing his hair. But I think it will turn out well in the end.

For everyone who is interested: I've also started my Daryl Dixon picture, I will show the first step soon.

And after watching The Avengers I'm thinking about drawing Loki ... let's face it, I need 48-hours-days

Cookie points to whoever can guess who it is.

some progress from my current pieces...miss ashley judd and xtina aguilera

in pencils

hello guys!!!

this is miss halle berry, in pencil and this is a commissioned piece

i am trying to give this one a different approach..most likely u wont notice it from my other pieces..

Starting off with a pretty basic WIP.

I've not drawn anything for days so decided to try this months draw-along reference to motivate me again.

As always, I'll just update this WIP with more as I go along



Update: Changed the format of the WIP's, I couldn't see what they looked like and I drew them Just one more WIP for this one ... so I can make my WIPs a square Colours are kinda wonky again but I'll fix it for the final one.
