Beau is finished

 So little Beau is finished, little fizz ball he was. He is drawn on fabriano artistico paper with archival quality pencils. 

If you would like a portrait you can drop me a message and I'll get back to you to make some plans xxx

Nearly finished

Little Beau is nearly finished.....a few more tweaks on his white fur and he'll be done.

Starting Beau

 Beau is coming along nicely.

His little face is so cute isn't it ? Xx

And one from a while ago

 
Here is a little beauty from a while ago

Beautiful Ellie

 Here is the beautiful Ellie, I hope I've done her justice.

Ellie is drawn on pastelmatt using archival quality lightfast pencils ,which means she will last for years and years with the proper care. She will come home mounted ready to go in a frame. I include a care sheet. 

More of Ellie

 Ellie's coming on, I'm not sure I'm enjoying the pastelmat but enjoying seeing her come to life.  She looks good on the grey.

Beginnings of Ellie

 

Hello beautiful girl , I'm loving drawing you!

Ellie is being drawn with luminace ,  Pablo and Polychromos pencils on dark grey Pastelmat.

Ellie is no longer with us, she's gone over the rainbow bridge, making this portrait even more precious.

Odin

 I loved drawing Odin

Leopard eye

 

So finally I've finished the leopard eye from Bonny Snowdon Academy Ignite

I've found every hair and shadow a challenge but I'm proud of the result.

I'm proud of the fact that I managed to find time and motivation to pick up my pencils today. Thank you to my friends Tomo, Susan, Elaine  and Barbara for encouraging me to pick up the ice axe and getting further up Everest! 

Climbing Everest

 I'm finding it  very hard to get myself motivated to draw at all; in fact motivating myself to do anything at all. I'm just lethargic and heavy and foggy..... well not 'just' actually it's a big deal and debilitating.

I'm going to try to do an online tutorial from Ignite today....... it feels like climbing everest !

Do any of you feel the same about life ? This hot weather doesn't help me either. Every effort is a huge one and takes it all out of me though I will try to pick up a pencil today.

What's been happening

 Hello there and welcome to Art By Dawniy 

I've been on an adventure with the help of my husband, all around WordPress dot com and back to blogger again! I'm finding WordPress a little complicated or even convoluted; it has had both of us scratching our heads on many occasion; so we've find our way back to blogspot which is easier to use than ever and even easier thanks to the help of my dearest.

Here are some of my pictures I've done since I was last on here, it's easy to see them here in a row ..... there are however hours and hours of work , focus, relaxing, cathartic loveliness. 

I enjoy every second of my pencil time xx
