March 2022 Animal And Wildlife Challenge

Ricky- nice work. I like the watery look of the colors.
Schuee- He looks good! Especially nice, the play of blue and green in the water. I find more than edges difficult to do with pastels. It's a medium I still find uncomfortable to work with and so admire it when done by others. In fact pastel paintings often amaze me, especially since I find them so difficult.
eyepaint- this is really cool how you lay this out to all work together in your sketchbook. I bet it's really nice to flip through your pages. I like how you vary the background patterns. Each looks interestingly different and yet the whole is cohesive. I particularly like the bubbly/circle background.

I’m pleased I’m not the only one who has difficulties with pastels, JSparrow. I’ve just tried a rose in pastels and will post it in the pastel thread/florals & botanicals.

I hope you get your computer troubles straightened out. And not just because I look forward to seeing your drawing, though I do.

Oh no! I hope you are up and running again soon.

Joy - Very nice macaw. The deer has a nice expression. I like the lower background, it doesn't look
overworked to me. It resembles the usual habitat of deer !

JSparrow - Your turtle is excellent. Interesting info on the Yellow Tang too.

Thanks Penny.
My computer is back up and running today !
I was able to post my Koala drawing [unfinished though it is !]
just in the nick of time !
Cheers,
Patricia

You Koala is very nice, Patricia. The charcoal really suits it on the coloured paper.

I’m pleased your computer is back in action.

Patricia, I love your koala. The black and white on toned paper is perfect here.

I drew with digital some references this week, is it okay ? if I post them here even if late? I was in doubt whether to post them here or in the forum in a new post, I put them here, thanks for the beautiful references and for the inspiration. Happy Easter to all

Hello Joe1It,

It's always OK to post here even if late

Very nice, lively drawings - you've captured the spirit of the animals.
I especially like the expressions on the cat and pigeon.

Cheers,
Patricia
