Here is my Sheep.
This is great, Pia! The texture is astounding!
The sheep is becoming a pastel drawing.
I wanted to do the sheep. It is harder than I thought. This is graphite and pastel. Unfinished.
Just had to take this one a step further into watercolor. Unfortunately this was experimental and done on crappy paper. But it was fun. I also did this with the alpaca but it got a bit distorted!
That’s great to hear! This looks great!
Wonderful!
This looks great!
Great job with this!
This looks great!
Beautiful!
Used an ebony pencil and a Mars Lumograph black, #7. Legs were very difficult!
Enjoyed this session. Thank Ewe!
This was fun to draw! A “wooly” good experience ? Thank you Scott for helping us to further our skills!
“Feeling a Little Sheepish” Really spent a long time in ugly duckling stage but very happy with how it turned out. Another fun drawing together session
Fun drawing – ‘Ewe in the Morning’
Hi Scott, my sheep is arriving late, stayed on the meadow too long. 🙂 Drawing her was very labor intensive. I am exhausted, but happy,
Urszula S.
I especially like your process to focus on the value of the shapes to build the form.
Here’s the final drawing. I worked on it a bit more after the show ended. This was a fun episode! Thank you to all who joined!
Hahaha! That’s perfect. Nice work!
This looks great!
First ever drawing of sheep. Loved doing the texture.
Thank you again Scott… that was some baaaaaadass drawing!
