Sorry to hear your laptop isn't available. Working from your phone is a challenge but I'm sure you're up to it! Hope you get your laptop back soon.

Mine is finished and ready to go.
I know what you mean about your laptop. After a certain price point, it's not worth fixing. Good luck. Hope you have a computer again soon. We just had to replace our smart TV for the same reason. When we figured it would cost more than half the price of a new one to fix, we decided to get a new one.
I can sympathize. The images are pretty small on the phone.

Good morning everyone - it is Monday 20th June here today in NZ so here's my entry for this Challenge.
Ive painted the giraffe in pen & Ink and PanPastels in my sketchbook. My laptop computer is being repaired, so I had to draw from the small image on my phone.

Well, I'm glad I didn't pick the giraffe, as you both did such a great job!
Vivien - Hard to believe you got such an excellent result on a small reference! You really are skilled with those pastels.
Anne - Wonderful and fresh looking! I always have trouble overworking, and sketchbooks are usually not the best paper, so kudos!
Well, here is mine. I am still attempting the Derwent Graphitint pencils, with mixed success. I added an ink outline, which I have never done before. This is A4 sized, on Hahnemühle grey toned paper.

Vivien - awww love those eyelashes on your creature 
Anne - great facial expression on your critter
Joy - well done on this animal. I find antlers are tricky due to some of the points coming towards me.
Here's my contribution. Approx. 5x8" each page. Ink and marker.
Sorry the images are so large. I see an error in the skull on my giraffe. Sigh.
Cheers,
Anne - great facial expression on your critter

EP - I always enjoy your style!
Penny - That is excellent for your non-dominant hand, as many would be happy to have their "good" hand work that well! I thought of you when visiting a Marks & Spencer recently in Hamilton, Bermuda. This was my first time in one. Imentioned to the staff that it was also referred to as "Marks & Sparks", but they had never heard that before!

Vivien: Your giraffe is adorable - full of character and life!
ams: Wonderful giraffe also - can't beleive the life can character given to him - super
Joy: Lovely and loose painting, really love the expression in the eyes
EP: I LOVE your drawings - super cool!
Penny: Beautiful, bold, vibrant colors - I love it! Amazing you did it with your non dominant hand - awesome!
I still hope to get one done by month's end sometime. We have renovations going on here - they're supposed to be done by tomorrow. I sure hope so, getting sooo sick of the noise and mess... ugh!

Thanks, Ep. Yes a moth - a cinnabar, perhaps. I will have to look it up. I love the names given to moths.
The other is a Tigermoth - which the aeroplanes are named after.

Yes, but Bermuda is British Overseas Territory, so I thought it odd that they did not know what I meant.Thank you very much, Joy. How interesting! Marks & Sparks must be a peculiarly English thing.
