by Lilly Antoneavic
(Melbourne/Australia)

This is one of my Big Cat portraits from my Big Cat Dairy collection of Extreme Photo Realistic Art..

As you can see I used some stippling on my cat portrait..

This is another A1 drawing, I used my favorite Derwent Inktense Pencils, some Acrylic and Ink..

Thank you all who look at this artwork..

Cheers from,
Lilly and Cats..



Note from Kerry:
Hi Lilly
This is absolutely stunning!! I love it so much.

Your stippling is also well done, it's good to see you like using it, too.

One of these days I'm going to invest in some of those inktense pencils, they are beautiful.

Christmas Puppy

by Lauren Sauers
(wilmington N.C.)

I saw a picture like this on google, and decided to draw it for my history teacher(:

It's also a good way to say Merry Christmas to everyone here at allaboutdrawings:)

Note from Kerry:

Your little puppy is completely adorable, you've done a lovely job with him. I hope you have a happy and safe Christmas too, thanks Lauren!

Cat Eyes

by Cindy
(Victor NY)

I found this in an old drawing book and loved it. So I had to try it. It is in colored pencil.

This is one of my first drawings I ever did.


***Note from Kerry:
Hi Cindy
Your drawing is great, it's no wonder you are a good artist -- you would have been greatly encouraged once you produced this. I like it.

Christmas Lab

by Lauren Sauers
(wilmington N.C.)

I did this after the Christmas puppy(: it is for my math teacher, who has a dog like this:P
I love it, and so did she(:(:



Note from Kerry:

Hi Lauren,
I don't doubt your teacher loved this -- not only is the drawing very beautiful (awww, he is gorgeous!) but it's the thought behind the drawing. I think to gift a drawing is the most precious thing.

Lurcher

by Sandra Busby
(East Sussex)

This is my cousins lurcher Tak. Tak has alot of lovely markings on his coat and has more fur than my own dog.

I used soft pastels and pastel pencils to draw him. It was drawn from a photograph.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Sandra, this picture looks fantastic. It's very well done. It's good to see you are still enjoying your artwork.

The Little Buck

by Ellen Brown
(Sealy, Texas)

I think this is my 3rd drawing. (I'll quit counting, when I get better and it doesn't matter, lol.) This precious little fawn lost it's mother and I took care of him for a few days.




Note from Kerry:

Ah, I thought I spotted an animal lover!
You can keep counting as much as you like Ellen, if I were you I'd brag lots about these drawings! The best thing you can do when you are a beginner artist is to draw things you love. Your fawn drawing is remarkable.

Love of Penguins

by Anna

I love penguins! But my favorite animals are cats, and White tigers ^_^!

Let me hear from all of you cat lovers!

**Note from Kerry:
Hi Anna! Your drawings are really good. What medium have you used here? Is that pastels?

Update: Anna wrote to me to say that she used some inexpensive color pencils from Walmart. Thanks Anna.

Mr G Raffe

by Bella
(Durban, South Africa)

I wanted to do a picture for my son so decided on this one. I copied it from a calendar photograph.

Even though I enjoyed doing this picture, I think I prefer to do portraits. This picture was done in soft pastels.

***Note from Kerry:
Bella, this is lovely! Good job. I love your title.

Red Fox In Color

by michele chambers
(granton ontario canada)

I drew this picture last Friday. I used an hb to sketch it in, then I used prismacolor pencils - dark brown, black, white, beige, cool gray 90% and 30% henna, burnt ochre, pumpkin orange, mineral orange and cloud blue.

I kept my pencils very sharp, I used stonehenge paper as I really like it when using colored pencil.

By the way Kerry, thanks for this wonderful website. I get lots of info from your newsletters and get to look at some great art by others.

***Note from Kerry:
Thank you, Michele, for showing your beautiful works of art here. Your fox drawing is stunning and I really appreciate the way you share the tools and colors that you use. The greatest gift is in helping others.

Fantasy

by Jacqueline kennedy
(Ireland)

Here is some more paintings i have done .....they where for a stall .....in hoping to sell to raise money for rescue animals. I had 4 days to paint 12 paintings, they were rushed and not my best but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

***Note from Kerry:
Jacqueline, this one is so gorgeous! Well done!

Singapura Cat

by Lilly Antoneavic
(Melbourne Australia)

This is from my series of Cat Art..

I did these because I adore cats big and small, and maybe because I was inspired by the best cat artist ever,.. Mr Catman Drew..

Some of these were sold at exhibitions I am always trying to enter, lol..

Some are Commissions from pet lovers..

This one is Prisma Colour pencils and ink on paper..

Thank you all who look at this drawing.. xxx



Note from Kerry:
Lilly, this is just adorable and such lovely artwork! You have every right to be proud of your achievements and I really appreciate you sharing it all here with us. Thanks Lilly!

Bubbles

by Roy
(Ashford, Kent, England)

Graphite and coloured pencil on paper trimmed to size (161mm x 290mm). Yes, her markings did make her make really look like this - aka 'Groucho'. Despite that, she was the most affectionate cat - no longer here sadly.

Upsized from a very small photgraph taken when I spotted her bird watching from the lily patch.

My first attempt at A4 and using colour (which I'm not comfortable with - I think there is too much left to explore with graphite yet - still trying to find my way! - my 3rd drawing).

***Note from Kerry:
Roy, you've done really well for your first go with color. There's no harm in experimenting, it's something we all do and it's all in good fun. I like the perspective you have chosen with this one.

Chloe

by Ellen Brown
(Sealy, Texas)

This is my second drawing. After deciding to start drawing, I easily found tons of pictures of my furry babies for models!

This is precious Chloe, a Border Collie, when she was a baby.




Note from Kerry:

Another great effort Ellen, absolutely incredible for a second attempt! Chloe looks so adorable.

African Penguin

by snapple
(hong kong)

There are African Penguin that most people don't know about, as everyone seems to be more focus on those penguins living around the glacier area.

Yet, having said the above, this drawing does look a bit awkward, as it's rather strange to find penguin in mountain areas.

I wanted to draw more stones around sea shore.. but I might have used the wrong color, and it's not coming out that way!

Anyways, I'd still like to share it, and welcome any comments. (I am new to this site, have been trying to draw since beginning of this month, so, it's less than 30 days.)

***Note from Kerry:
Thanks for such a great story, Snapple! Aw, they are so cute - I think you've done a terrific job with your drawing! Gosh, is it really less then 30 days? That's fantastic!

The Bandana Queen

by Ellen Brown
(Sealy, Texas)

This is another practice drawing of my grand puppy Chloe. She's a year old in this drawing and loves wearing bandanas! I have been using photographs to copy from for my drawings.
I just started in November, so I still have a loong way to gooooo.



Note from Kerry:

Hi Ellen,
Isn't she just so beautiful? I think you are going to be a mighty fine artist if this is the quality you can produce when you are just starting out! You've done a great job and I love those eyes!
