Pen and Ink Fawns

No Comments
9″x12″, ink and gel pen on Strathmore 500 illustration board. I’ll probably add more to the border after I take a break.

If the fawn looks familiar, it’s because I’ve been using the photos I took from two summers ago. I happened to take several dozen of this lone fawn, but I keep using them because it was such a magical day.

I”m using brown de Atratmentis document ink. My line work for animals needs some work.

Quick Metalpoint Sketch

No Comments
7”x7”, gold and aluminum

Until tilted to the light, this looks like a hazy, gray smudge with no definition. The process was fast and fun. I used my aluminum “Brillo pad” for the background after I scored numerous, thin branches and grasses into the surface with the end of a paintbrush. The deer was sketched in gold.
