CATS & KITTENS

These are my drawings of cats and kittens and dog. As you can see there is some improvement in my technique especailly in the eyes which give the drawing life. Enjoy. And again, please leave a comment. Thanks for your visit.

DOGS

Here's a drawing I just finished of a Doberman Puppy. It's for a friend of the family who just had a birthday

Here's a picture I drew with prismacolor pencils. it's my first with color pencils

hope you like it as much as I did drawing it

Here's a picture I drew of my son and his daughter just last summer

Here's a picture of my son Bryan and his dog. I drew it from a very small color photo

Here's my latest drawing of a blood hound with a kitty under his ear. I have just finished it.

I found the picture on the net. The original was done by Sidney Eileen. as with all of my drawings I just used the picture as a reference only for my rendering. I give all the credit to the original artist. My drawings are my own, I never use any computer enhancement or any tracings whatsoever! All of my drawings are done completely free hand using the original only as a reference. I would like any feed back as to how I can improve my skills as a pencil artist.

This is a drawing I did of my brother inlaw's dog Holly 2 months before she died. She was a great retriever. She was a happy dog doing what she was bred for, retrieving birds (ducks and geese) in North Dakota. She was a great friend to Jeff and she will be always in his heart.

These are drawings I did of dogs. Again; all these drawings a with the wolves were drawn completly free handed without any computer aid whatosever. any constructive comments are always welcome as I am relearning technique. Enjoy, and thanks for visiting.

GermanShepard. My son had a german shepard much like this one. I used the drawing that was done by Lisandro Pena as a reference only! You can view his and compare it to this rendering. You can view his at his website at;http://www.onlypencil.com/pencil-drawings/german-shepherd/ I only hope that I may as good one day as Mr. Pena

WOLVES

Here is my latest drawing. It's a Wolf with a Bald Eagle

This is the first wolf picture that I drew for my son's birthday. I hadn't picked up a pencil in over 25 years prior to this drawing. I drew it from memory. I drew a remark of a wolf howling. I hope that I have improved a little

These are wolves that I drew from the first attempt to the last. I haven't picked up a pencil in over 25 years. But a couple of years ago on my son's birthday (he loves wolves) I picked up a pencil and drew him a wolf from memory and sent it to him. the rest were drawn from reference pictures from the net. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did drawing them. Thank you.
