Half Finished Mare

I began to shade. The neckline running through the mane is still visible, and wouldn't be once the mane had been shaded in. Yet something in this unfinished look made me pause. I may finish it, may not. If I do I will wait a few days or weeks and begin with a fresh mindset--better a good drawing half done than a drawing ruined by overworking it or by finishing when the inspiration's not there. I almost do like her as she is, and if I lighten that neckline with an eraser she may pass for a pinto.

A Sketchy Terrier

This terrier was sketched in soft pencil on watercolor board. The scanner, however, couldn't pick up enough contrast to make a decent view of it. It couldn't, that is, until I found an option in the photo editing software called "charcoal" that made the pencil hues darker. Now it looks more like ink than pencil, but I like what the software did with it.

The Kindly Dragon

This puzzled dragon is holding a baby chick and wondering what it has found.

Self Stick Dragon Note

Sometimes when inspiration occurs the only thing handy is a self stick note. This dragon is wearing a piece of armor for the face similar to that of a medieval horse.
