Bighorn update

I meant to post the final quite a while ago, darn.  I've been super busy with too many things, but here is the finished big horn ram study:

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.

Antelope in graphite

This is a small study in graphite. It's about 7x9 or a little smaller. I might go on with an acrylic of this, but I always enjoy going back to graphite where I can control every mark. Unlike using a brush, which can be very frustrating, to say the least. Anyway, I enjoyed working on this little piece.
