Wonderful drawing, Doreen, I really like how you depicted the light on this. I checked out Gary's site, really nice paintings and he writes so evocatively too, doesn't he? :)

Lovely work Dors - the fur looks so dense and realistic ... and I'm impressed you put background colour also - nice finishing touch.

Yes it was nice of Garry and I am so pleased. I enjoyed it so much.
Great work Dors! I will have to get a wiggle on as I have also recently accepted Gary's challenge but I have yet to begin mine which will be in pastel.
Beautiful Dors, really well done! Nice detail on the horns)
Hi Sally. Oh I think you have time as Gary is also doing the challenge and I think he has just started his.
Glad you are doing the challenge and I can't wait to see yours, I know it will be awesome.

Sally. Sorry forgot to say thank you for your kind comment. :D
Excellent work Dors! Were you counting these fellas as you fell asleep each night after working on this piece?! I love Gary's blog. He has some of the best subject matter for his paintings!
Thanks Deb. :) don't we all count sheep to stop us drawing all night hehehe.
Yes Gar's site is always very interesting. I hope lots more artists follow him.
dors,
the picture is excellent...
the animal is captured with the inherent innocence on the face...
shades are also brilliantly done...
A wonderful answer to the challenge, Doreen! Love seeing all your great graphite art.
I just sent my sheep jpg to Gary last night.
Your graphite drawing is a big success I'd say. Stunning and gorgeous work.
And thank you so much for checking out my version of our bighorn on my blog. Wasn't Gary generous to offer this image as an open challenge?
You have a lovely blog!
