This Bear and Dove was a fun and very touching commission. A man contacted me about a present for his first wedding anniversary. His wife called him "Snuggley Bear" and he called her "Lovey Dovey". He wanted to know if I could do a bear hugging a dove. I did several sketches and after we collaborated on picking out the preferred features of the sketches, this was the result. It is 12x16, colored pencil on hardboard panel.
I think I mentioned that I am auditing a drawing class at Denison University this semester. At any rate, I am and it is really stimulating to be using other media -- conte crayon, charcoal, ink, markers and to be drawing from life. Though alot of my in class drawings are currently stored at the university and I have not yet taken any photos of them, I though I would share some homework. One of our assignments is to pick an object and incorporate it into 100 drawings. This wooden horse I have had for several years is the object I picked:
Here are drawings 5-11. I am using conte and it is on two sheets of 18x24 paper, so the final here is 24x36. I may add more to it later. As I said above, feeling very stimulated drawing from life (though it is still). His arm fell off while I was workig on this, so I have not included it for some of the drawings.
