My favorite season is the fall.

Standard blue Pentel RSVP ballpoint pen.

Graphite pencil drawing of a Robin

I sketched this black cat drawing as the start of my custom pet portrait service. Graphite, a mechanical pencil and a hb pencil was used on Derwent sketching paper.

Personal project to draw 100 pups.

Patternz - Series 3. In this series I'm still sticking with the Patterned backgrounds, but this time they have been carefully chosen to compliment the chosen animal subject, rather than the human portraits of series 1 & 2.
