A Blog containing the art I produce, which contains a fair amount of animal portraits, plus other bits n' bobs. I hope you enjoy my work. I am open for commissions.

Fox


It's been two months since my last piece of art posted, life has been busy!
... anyway here's something I drew today. I drew this beautiful creature in my usual way using Uni-Pin Fineline pens, on cartridge paper, but decided to experiment by adding some colour using a wash of watercolour paint on top of the Inks.
One of my favourite artists/illustrators was Arthur Rackham who was the master of this technique.
I've added some progress photo's of this piece, plus a scan in black and white as well as the finished colour version.
I hope you like what I've done? and I will be experimenting further with colour on upcoming pieces I plan to draw.

Take care
