wow, these drawings here are really awesome. i like the finishing touches on the horse, dreja; really nice. inky2, sweet greyhounds! dang girl! :thumbsup:

donā€™t know much bout animals myself; i usually draw humans, but i was commissioned by the local library to enlarge an existing drawing, 2 of them actually. i did the undersketch for both; one a librarian painted for me, one i painted with another librarian. both in watercolor.

heres the originals (sorry the quality is kinda crappy; digicam)


the process, finished pieces

purb36,

These are really adorable! :slight_smile: Iā€™ve taken a look at these a couple of times, and I chuckle every time! :slight_smile:

How are you finding Japan? Are you there on the JET program? I had a good friend once who did that program, and she loved it. :slight_smile:

Cheers,

thanks rebecca! it was really tiring, but really fun to do! i hope the kids like it. :slight_smile: im on a program similar to the JET program, but its called PiA (Princeton in Asia), and is a multinational program, not just japan-specific. we have people in countries such as japan, china, korea, laos, vietnam, thailand, singapore, east timorā€¦most of the countries in southeast asia. its not nearly on the same scale as JET (weā€™re about 70 strong), but, depending on where you end up and what kind of person you areā€¦i dunno. im having a blast here, teaching english to kids 0-6 years old, and i wouldnt have it any other way. well, iā€™d be drawing childrens books, but im working my way there. :wink: i would encourage everyone to check it out, if you are thinking of making some kind of change in your life: try PiA!!! (now accepting applicationsā€¦yes, im hardcore recruiting. :wink: )
where was your friend when she were on JET? what was her experience like? did you ever visit them? you shouldve. :wink: what does she do now?

Iā€™m still not seeing animals Rebecca! :deal:

purb36,

Thatā€™s awesome! My friend was in a tiny village, I donā€™t remember the name. :slight_smile: She went to Japan after I had transferred away from the school we were both attending, so no, I never did visit her there, though I have been to Tokyo / Kyoto once, a LONG time ago! I remember that the people were so HONEST ~ my folks and I had left a restaurant, and a guy came running after us, because we had left our camera behind! Imagine this happening in the US! Not likely! :scream:

I donā€™t keep up with my ex~roomate who went, but I think she went on to business school in New York. She definitely enjoyed her experiences though ~ I have lots of letters with some cool stamps to prove it. :slight_smile:

Okay, per Martin / erilazā€™s request, I am posting here my lame zoo drawing which I did today ~ it was more social outing than sketch session, but I had a great time, and decided to tweak my little piccy of a lion. He was quite a cutie! :slight_smile:

Hi everyone,

I hope I am posting this in the right place. If not, feel free to move or remove it, Rebecca.

I have been pretty sick recently and busy to boot but I wanted to put this little sketch from yesterday up.

It was actually done to help a friend with his design but I ended up liking it and took it in a different direction.

It is a WereTiger and took about 30 minutes all in Painter 9.

#67

Itā€™s an animal of sorts, and itā€™s very good, so I think it can stay 11th Door!!!:smiley:

Love the droop of the shoulders and the overall body work.

#68

Moving subjects are always the hardest to draw!! :smiley: Nice Rebecca. I think you should visit the zoo more often and relax!

#69

erilaz,

LOL ~ it was fun. :slight_smile: It was a perfect, sunny day, surprising for the time of year, and I got my socializing on ~ now, back to work for me! :wink:

Cheers,

Sadly this is the first animal Iā€™ve ever drawn >.>;;;;;;;

Well anyways here is my sketch~

HB pencil on sketchbook paper~ 30mins I think maybe more maybe less.
The leg in the back you canā€™t actually see but~ it didnā€™t look right so I just put a leg in there on my comp. because iā€™m to lazy to rescan.
Anyways this is basiclaly the process I used~
First did the a super fast quick sketch of where everything is going to be. Next I did enough details so you could actually tell what it is. Then third I uhh did little more details.

Man I messed up the face.

#79

Lancear,

Thatā€™s a nice drawing! I think the front left leg looks a bit straight and long, but apart from that youā€™ve got a great start here. :slight_smile: What was the reference which you used? Can you post it?

Cheers, :slight_smile:
