A Wildlife Series

After finishing various commissions shortly before Christmas, I continued with the wildlife theme and produced a body of work along a theme. They were all in mixed media, a combination of both coloured pencils and pastels.

 

I started with some big cats because I love to capture both the eyes and expression.

 

 

However, I also chose some subjects that can be found in the UK.

 

Meanwhile, I am also working on a set of bird images together with some pet portraits of course. However, I like to swap my subjects around a little bit, that way I think you avoid getting repetitive and it stops the boredom factor creeping in!

Wildlife Art

This one was recently completed in Pastels:

An Otter Pair

Meerkat

This one has been done in pencil and white coloured pencil on coloured paper. If you would like to try to draw a meerkat in coloured pencil, I have a tutorial available here.

Eye of the Tiger

Red Fox

Another photographer very kindly provided the references for this piece of art.

Lemur in Coloured Pencil

This lemur was photographed at Dudley zoo in Lemur wood. As I was able to get very close with the camera, the result made an excellent reference for this piece.
