You can still FIND ME AT  http://www.ldthoughts.wordpress.com

Are there any Sketchbook Project 2012 participants out there? I'd love to follow your progress! I am posting on wordpress site now but still following my blogspot favs. And, I have found it easier to post comments on the many blogspot sites that participate in Illustration Friday challenges.

I am unable to continue with this blog  as my computer considers the new photo upload to be a malicious  add-on and a danger to my computer. If I am unable to upload photos there is nothing else for me to say  or use this blogger site for. Bye Bye and see you on Wet Canvas. Drawspace or some other blog site. Too bad so sad.

I've done some work on Smokey's eyes and generally more on the fur texture. My next step is likely to add the other ear and shoulder.

I've done some more work on Smokey's nose and shaped up his face with furry texture a bit. The nose needs more refining still and ofcourse more layers of graphite are needed to finish the fur over all but it is coming along nicely. I still have a long way to go on the eyes before I can say I'm there with them too. I don't want to add the other ear and shoulder until I'm happy with the eyes and face.

Here's an update with some corrections done to the shape of the nose...my next goal will be to create a more realistic nose texture before I move on to the rest of the fur.

Moving right along across to the muzzle with lots more layering to do to get the texture as I like it. First I'll do some work on the throat area to give it more perspective as the nose looks not quite right. It could be 'cause it's just hanging out there.
