Thank you for participating. I chose the goat too. I need to put in a background. Love your version of the goat. Wonderful details.

Beautiful drawing of the goat Christel. I am working on the goat too. I have the pen and ink part finished but I want to add some color before I post.

In the meantime... I did get the emu completed a while ago when the images were first posted.

About 4" square, pen & ink and inktense in XL Mixed Media sketchbook.
