Back again .... Finished
It's been well over a year since I touched my pencils for whatever reasons .. mostly lack of motivation I suppose. Anyway, I figured it was time for me to get some of the cobwebs out. I was going to do another Civil War portrait ... or perhaps a good photo I have of my grandfather from the 20s .. but I decided to do something with more texture to get back in the swing of things. See if anyone can guess what this is ...
11.5x14.5 graphite on Mellotex (a little charcoal here and there). Roughly 10 hours over 2 weeks. From a reference I found somewhere ....
Almost none of this is completed yet as per my usual. It's getting close in places but the texture still isn't quite right in most places - some of this will eventually be out of focus which is, for me, tricky to do.
It's a cat. |

Re: Back again ....
ha ha ha I thought that * SparrowHawk7* name looked familiar. 
is it Casey then? If not Casper, then Casey.... aren't they only two that near to you? *eye* could be wrong, too.
Ok... So Kathrin has the coffee, I bought ice cream bars, so help yourself, everyone.
And I'm getting seated in my chair.
BTW, so does this mean you are feeling better? *brother pencil* = aka Ken, in this case. ?
See ya later and blessings to you.  IRma |

Good to know you have not forgotten how to draw. Bit like riding a bike, eh?

Re: Back again ....
Woohoo!!!!!!  That is fantastic to see you back with your pencils! And even more so to see it being a cat, little buggers always manage to wheedle their way in somehow.
