Thanks, Chammi. I think I need to lighten the front of his muzzle and could use a lighter brown acrylic. What do you think. I also need to work on the colour of the right antler.

I’m watching the opening games of the Rugby World Cup!

Yes, it does help, thank you. I will start again, and trace it and try to get the proportions right. I’ll try to leave the paler parts of the face lighter, too. I may try it in pastels this time.

Thanks, Chammi. He’s a little break the bottom of the paper but the antlers don’t fit in otherwise.

Good idea! I will finish this one now I’ve started.

I started again with watercolour and coloured pencils. I’m now adding a blue background.

Looking good Penny. I like the various textures in the fur and antlers.

I haven’t had time / motivation for much art recently – too much else going on! But I’m participating in Inktober this year for the first time, which I am hoping will get me back into things.

Thanks, Kay. I thought it might be a little twee, but you think it’s all right? I was thinking of darkening its coat.

I know what you mean about motivation! I haven’t really been in the mood for drawing/painting, lately. I hope you enjoy the Inktober and get back into the mood.

I’m away for a 4-day break in Dawlish at present with Indy and Rita and Wilf. We saw black swans that live on the river in Dawlish – one on a nest!
