        I’m trying to improve my drawing, working on forms; I wanted to try both the spider monkey and the red panda references. These are on the same page of my 8.5″x5″ sketchbook, graphite and Prismacolor pencils.

        Initial line work, about a half hour each:

        Finished, a couple hours each (though it took me all week to get those few hours together! :lol:)

        Thanks mbeckett for the great references – I wanted to do several, saving some for paintings later. :)

        C & C welcome :)

        A couple of very interesting animals, Dawn, love the colors in both.

                    Good ones, I like the bright colours, especially the panda. I like your preliminary sketches too, using just the basic shapes and then filling in the detail. I think the panda drawing works well as an abstract. :)

                                Nice work Dawn – and I like the way you plan the proportions before getting down to detail – good practice!:)
