My cat Pearl and my dog Abby, drawn with 8b pencil in large Moleskine.
Scroll down to see both, please.
It's hard for me to change gears. Going from those colory still lifes to less colorful animals, I mean, BUT it wouldn't be as hard if I didn't have a couple of competing duties to deal with. So, for the next week, I'll be doing quick animal sketches while I do the other stuff. Then, I can turn to sketching animals using color, detail, texture and all the tools in my artistic toolbox. Meantime, truth to tell, I'm enjoying just dealing with lines.
Scene from the farmers' market I talked about so much in July.
More scrolling required.
Hi Laura, thank you for visiting my site - I fell in love with your drawings, they are absolutely lovely! I'm looking forward to seeing more (especially animals...:)) please send hugs to Pearl and Abby.

Thanks to everyone! PB, you nut. I appreciate all the positive comments about the simplicity and change of pace, because both are going to continue for the foreseeable future! Don't get bored!

Talk about two totally different pieces! I am glad you included your color for the people or the change would almost have been too much:)
Good luck on your other projects-I know they will be stunning.

I like the change of just simple pencil lines, they're beautiful.
I find it hard to see the structure under all that fur, wow, not a problem for you, beautifully done, Abby's head/paws I really like, perfect capture.

The pencil animal sketches are wonderfull, and the colours in the farmer's market painting are very well laid. Great work.
