Here kitty kitty kitty. Drew this tiger while watching that brain sapping TV that I can't seem to avoid. At least it only gets part of my attention at any time. I have a new project on the go ....well actually 2 new projects. One is a colour pencil of a little girl which I only struggle along with at my desk 'cause colour is HARD to do. The other is one I can do in front of the TV again. It's a photo a friend took of her husband and her horse...I want to do it to give to her. She is a gifted artist herself in pastels. Anyway that's that.

This arabian horse is drawn from a photo stock library on wc. It is so striking in color (a brilliant chestnut) so I may give it a go in color pencil as well as this graphite rendering of it. I'll do a few unrelated projects first though to get a fresh perspective 'in color'. Graphite is my pet medium while all others are unpracticed and require waaaay more effort and thought while I work.
Well today I have added a corrected version of this horse. It was pointed out to me that the nose was twisted. Soooo, I fixed that and enlarged the nostrils to look better as well. I attempted to fix the harsh dark shadow under the head but had limited success lifting the graphite. So it goes.
