Mystery drawing revealed!

So, I got some stuff done. And we're playing a guessing game of what it could be over on Facebook. :) Someone has come up with a tail...and I'll confirm that. Other than that...that's what people have come up with. I'm still staying mum on what it is.


I'm really digging how it is turning out. I thought this was going to be tougher or slower than the hydrangea drawing was...and I am pleasantly proven wrong. I think this one will be done faster than the hydrangeas because it's not totally dense drawing work and because I'm not worrying about how colors will work and what pencils have to be used. Graphite pencils are like wearing an old sweater in the studio. I pick them up and the magic just happens.

On the hydrangea drawing front, I have prints now available! They are on both eBay and Etsy and are reasonably priced which is nice. I'm so happy with the quality of the print and they are the same size as the original drawing. I'll be doing a 750 limited edition print series of these guys.

I have a frame and matting on order for the original which I believe will look great. Once I get the original in it's new frame, I'll have that available for sale and if I happen to hang on to it for a while, I'll get this into some juried art shows too this season. :)

I might be a little slow on posting drawing updates because I'll be really busy soon...with stuff not art related. We're getting a new puppy who is a cousin to my current dog, Lars (who is the puppy drawing in progress I have been working on. He's 4 now.) He'll be here Saturday! So, I may be spending free time with wrangling puppies than with my pencils. Hopefully, I'll get some studio time when both of my monsters are sleeping. :)
