Graphite with a touch of Prisma CP on 220gm Canson 23 x 25 cm

I thought I would show the photos taken at different times of the day.. left is night(artificial light) right is morning (daylight) The likeness to my drawing is more like the one on the left.
I did another drawing the same as this a while back which I gifted to Maria... I thought I would also have one to hang along side the Meerkat.. I may even keep going and have animals all along one wall.

Great Job Maria. Maria

Lily Pond


Another challenge, this time Maria chose the subject. I must say was very challenging, but we do enjoy these challenges. It's all good practice.
You can visit Maria's lilies here. Maria
