The Ape

The Ape.

I try to see the best in a photo or magazine, and I try to get as much detail as I can within it. At the end of the drawing, I do like to stand back and say "Well, I did that."

With animals, there is that look they give - "There's no problem here mate."

***Note from Kerry:

Hi Joseph, I love this!! It's great work. I enjoyed your story too, thank you.

Close-up Elephant

Close-up of an Elephant

Close-up of an Elephant

Elephants are incredible animals. I found a few interesting facts online,
1 - Elephants cry, play, have incredible memories, and they even laugh .

2 - Elephants grieve at a loss of a stillborn baby, a family member, and in many cases other elephants.

3 - Elephants are sensitive to fellow animals where if a baby complains, the entire family will rumble and go over to touch and caress it.

And these are just a few of the things I found out about them. I had a ton (lol) of fun drawing this picture. And it really was one of my easier projects.

***Note from Kerry:
Thanks for the great story Patty! It makes drawing more interesting when you research your subject beforehand. Somehow your feelings get transferred to the drawing.

This is a drawing i did not too long ago, after having a month or two out from drawing i decided to do one again. After searching a long time on the internet looking for a lion or another big cat, I found this beautiful sleeping lion so i thought id give it a go.

Considering i haven't drawn for over a month when i did this, I'm very pleased with it! :)

I used graphite pencils ranging from an F' to a 9B'
please leave your comments on my drawing, if possible tell me how i could have done it better ?!
thank youuu! :)

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Jordan, he's perfect! You've done a great job. Please keep drawing.

This picture was the second picture I did at my very first drawing class. It is graphite on Bristil smooth.

As you can see, I love animals! LOL

You have done the effects (of the fur) very well and great work on the eyes. Your teacher must have been impressed with your work. Good job!

I just love to draw and this is my favorite drawing so far. Its not as good as all the others but I like him. Hope you do too.

I imagine him playing with my other creatures I draw. He used to be a bad tiger, but he's trying to turn his life around and join forces with good. I have faith that he'll be just fine. :P

How Many Legs?

How Many Legs?

I found this while doing an image search on optic illusions. I wasn't able to see who the original was from, but this I found on about.com. And from the looks of what I've seen just in the first few pages I'm gonna have a lot of fun with these, while not working on portrait drawings.
Enjoy!

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Patty! It's great to see you are having some fun with illusions, they are so interesting.

Hello Sumit:
Well I know Kerry isn't the only one scared, wooow I am too.
Just gaze at his eyes and then take off running, that is if you can out run him or her...
Great drawing and I love the way you put your love and soul into your grand artwork.
