Pencil sketches

[Paul]

All of these are from Google images, i used the image to create an outline and some inner features just for reference. I then apply my mad pencil skills to achieve the likeness for a desired finished look.
I also do these on canvas sheets stretched across frames using our over head film projector, only then i do water colour or oil sometimes.

These are all on cheap A4 paper just doodles while i watch the water jets by the pool.







The only one i would consider finished is the rams head, i have others if interested:mrgreen:

:hi: to all the viewers but no comments :biglaff:

This is a the pencil pusher side of you we never get to see around here. Great job.... I like the shading. Bet your fingers are so messy from all that smudging you're family keeps singing "Can't Touch This".....

Why not try doing postwork by importing the grayscale drawings into a layer in Photoshop for painting color in the same manner you color black and white images? I'm sure these will look stunning .....

Hi Paul
Wow...these are amazing drawings.

 

[Paul]

Thank you Chris, weekend doodles really.

Incidentally the goat/rams head one i used two pencils a 4B and a 4H, to give the lines more realism.
Critiques are welcomed in any shape or form

WOW, very very nice Chris. Almost like the original image i copied.

No critiques from the ones in the know?

I like them all, but my favorite is the three legged Rhino. Lot's of great textures. The shading promotes dimension.

I also like the original Ram. The texture in the horns are fantastic. The fur is a bit monotone and flat. A little more tonal variation would have helped.

Great sketches.

Yeah i did think to put the fourth leg in but it's not in the original so i left as is mate, i did actually give up on that drawing, i do that a lot.
But thanks for replying, alls good.
