This is a Bull Mastiff that I drew a few weeks ago.

I used 100lb paper, hb, 2b, and h pencils with a tortillion to blend and a kneaded eraser to do highlights.


***Note from Kerry:
Hi Michelle,
Your drawing is just downright beautiful. Your work is awesome, really.

I drew this picture of the beagle from a book.. I used hb, h, 2b and 4b pencils...

I felt he fitted my mood that day. I love drawing dogs as I have always had dogs and their unconditional love and loyalty is so amazing ...

***Note from Kerry:
Michele, this drawing is so good that it deserves to be framed, no doubt about that!

Here is a picture of a bulldog that I drew recently from a book.

I used hb, 2b, h and 2h pencils. This one took a bit more time with more detail. It took me a couple of afternoons during stormy snow days this new year.

It was a great way to spend my snowed in days and bring in the New Year.

***Note from Kerry:
Hi Michele, I agree, it would have been a lovely way to greet the New Year. What's more, you have produced such a great piece of artwork ... wow!

I drew this picture last week in an afternoon.

I used hb, 2h and 2b pencils and an h just for whisker markings.

I find once I am done the drawing I must step away from it to really see how it came out and then I make some corrections. I only had to make one on this one at the top of his ear.

***Note from Kerry:
It's gorgeous, Michele! I look forward to my dedicated drawing time but I'm not sure I'd produce anything like this in a short amount of time.

This dog belongs to a friend of mine.

I used 100lb paper - white and h, hb, 2b, 4b and extra black graphite pencils along with tortillon for blending and shading.

He took me 4 hours to do.

***Note from Kerry:
Michele, he is terrific! Did you give it to your friend as a gift? I think they would be delighted with your drawing. It's lovely!

Michele, is your name spelt with one "L" or two?

I had not picked up a pencil in 20 years.

I used to draw a lot of Walt Disney characters for my children using pastels. I smoke and a lot so on my docs advice if you can't quit at least cut down. Well, it worked, I picked up that pencil in August and here is one of my drawings from a book.

In the beginning I was very heavy handed which has now left me (thank heavens). I used hb, 2b, 4b and h pencils.

***Note from Kerry:
Well Michele, I am very impressed with your drawing. It is so lovely and very well done.
