An update on most things

Sooo, the weekend has been quiet, but I have been whittling away the hours updating my blog and a number of other things. For quite a while now I have not been happy with my website, so I have just purchased some software (which will hopefully arrive in the next few days) to help me but together something that not only looks good, but is also organised. I will feel much better when I have got the new website up, and might even have a few works for sale.

Tonight I have been working on Starr, and am considering starting another work so I can spend a bit of time on each every night, just to add a little variety. I am actually pretty happy with the way that Starr's portrait is turning out. Hopefully I am not alone =]

Starr a WIP

So here is my latest WIP, it is a bit of slow going as I am also working on something else that I can not post up. Starr is my first blue heeler type and her colouring is a bit difficult, I am taking my time, but I might start over if I do not like how it is going. I having a pretty good time at the moment experimenting with diffrent techniques and working out how to acheive the finish I am after.

Starr is a lovely puppy, hope to get this finished up soon as I have quite a few to get done over the next month or so.

Back again

Well I have been away for a while. Primarily because I was completing a commission for a birthday present so I could not post any info about it. Since then I have take a little break, and have been playing around with colour pencils and pastels. I am back into it today and should have an update tomorrow. For now, here is a picture of the commission mentioned above, and one of my first complete pastel drawings. The pastels defiantly need some work but it is getting there.
