NEW WORKS FROM THE STUDIO OF ART BY WENDY
This little lamb is all done and ready to show. He definitely was an interesting project and taught me a lesson or two!!
My goal was to capture that look of curiosity but each time I got close to that look I found that I aged him. Drawing a young lamb is just like drawing a young child, the shadows and lines get a little sharp or dark and suddenly they aren't young any more. This little fellow really put me to the test as I had to keep going back and soften my work. If you compare the finished picture to my half finished picture from the last post, you will see what I mean. Don't you wish that it was as easy for us, with a light touch of a kneaded erasure, we soften a line, lighten a shadow and suddenly we are younger looking again!
Well enjoy my little guy, he is off to check out new things and I am back to the drawing table. I have been working on a few watercolours and which are really starting to take shape. I should have something for you to see soon.
Have a great day,
