Pencil piece in progress-Bighorn Ram

Currently working on a pencil of a bighorn ram, called "Posturing." He is posing to show how big and tough he is.

This is just a beginning, but I think it is working, so far. It's on Fabriano hot press w/c paper, 9 x 12, and will probably mat to 8 x 10 or so.

For me, pencil work is very intense, but I love to do it, total control, lol. Any comments welcome, and thank you.
