Who's eyes are starting to jump out of the page?

Oooo ...so many reference photos to choose from..cant wait ..but which 1 to do 😃

Today I made a friend very happy with this surprised pastel picture of her recently passed away dog call Barnie ...
He was a challenge..lots of colors and short hair 18 hrs later .. ... She cried bless her .. I love sharing my art as much as I love doing it.

11 months since I started my art journey..I just might be commission ready 😊

I think Iam addicted to art! To watch things come to life on a page! 😍

Thank you Matt Coombs for allowing me to use your brilliant reference photo.. here is my interpretation of the baby owlet .. pastel pencils on pastelmat paper.

Can be found very happy with a lap tray,a reference photo and a pile of pastel pencils 😀

Here it is! This is about the background not the butterfly 😄
It was a trial run.. I can make the background lighter and different colors 😁
So your thoughts please...

Oooo thank you hubby ...I can't wait😄

Trying a new technique....wish me luck 😎

I took a photo from our touring pitch a few weeks ago , I just had to have a go at it ..

My king fisher.. credit to Tony Parfoot for amazing photo and thank you for allowing me to use it as a reference photo.. 3 types of pastel pencils on pastel mat.

Here he is my 1st primate, gave me a few headaches but I think I can call him ..done!

My work in progress is proving to be quite a challenge! Stay tuned folks 😜 .. ok Iv saved it ..I think 🤔

This work in progress is taking me out of my comfort zone..trial and error on this one..

Hi everyone.. at last I have finished my bird of prey... I am pretty pleased with it ..

My 1st bird of prey 😀

I have at last finished Maddie and jack! Hope you all like them 😊

What to draw next ..away Friday till Tuesday might be rainy ☺️

Some more fur practice... The thing with pastel pencils is you start with the dark colors and build up to the light ..this means each work of art has a minimum of 3 layers and if using pastelmat paper u can get away with 4/5 which gives u more depth...so this makes it quite time consuming but I love it... Here is my tiger and his story..

The competition winners free A4 pet portrait is now finished and ready for Griffins owners..
Original photo.

Did a tutorial..Mr Wood mouse ..I loved doing this one ..may be animals are my 'thing' 🤪

Did a portrait of my cousin dog who passed away .. pomeranian called Bella...1st fluffy coat I have done... she has now received it in the post so I can show you all.

A sneeky peek at my next work in progress 😁
