Drawing – Spiny Rats

November 16th, 2006 – I’m back trying to work through my fur issues :) Fur and feathers still are very hard for me to get to look realistic and not just lines on paper. This image looked like a good one to try. Plus it had a lot of negative space that I could try bringing the subject to the foreground with a darker background.

Analysis – The eyes and ears came out fairly well, like normal. The fur… looks like scribbles on the page. I’m disappointed again in my fur abilities. I do however like how the rats contrast against the dark background and somewhat pop out.

Note – I’ve decided to start posting my drawings to my blog. For a few reasons… To share the art, to stimulate me to draw more, and to keep a record of them all. Click on the small image to get the larger size view. There will be a small flood of posts as I put up all of my back dated drawings, then only as I produce new works. :)
