Art Progress

I wish I could claim that. >__> I've been trying for years to be able to draw fur/hair. All have been epic failures. I just don't show those as much. I guess just keeping up my drawing spree has been helping out with other skills I had been lacking. Normally I only will draw for a few weeks before giving up...This time I haven't let myself give up.

This last one is INCREDIBLE! The difference one drawing made is so good. The fur looks purposefully placed and nice and soft. I am so jealous!!

Haha, well good job!! You're getting so good at it now!

P.s. I put some more photo's on flickr (:

That is just amazing... how you get the fur detail so good is beyond me. I guess I'll keep trying but I have a hard time understanding it. I also have trouble with dog mouths, which you did so well. Awesome job...

Caitlin, Its funny how sometimes it seems that you can put out one piece that amazes yourself. Lol Now the problem just becomes, can I repeat it? ;)

Thanks iloverains. Right now I am focusing on things other than horses but when I get back to it I'll definitely be going through what you have.

HCT - Its very very hard! Especially since fur never lays flat or the same way, some sticks straight up, some is wavy some clumps together. You have to learn them ALL to put it together nicely. >.> Forcing myself to practice it is the only thing that helps. That and really studying pictures of long furred animals. Thank you!

Got a couple of dogs in there :p

I just saw that! If I really want to kill myself I may try this one you just posted:

The clumpy/wet fur may really help me develop my fur skills....or I may bomb it, but we'll see. Haha

Good Luck!!!! (:

I love not working on the weekends, gives me tons of free time. Here is the next out, I was going to do the full dog but decided against it. Primarily white charcoal with a little black and then some soft pastel for the eye. Went a little heavy on he black in the fur, but oh well. I'm happy with it. Only took me about an hour too.

So good!! (:
