Oscar for JemBob

[EmmaG]

Another urgent drawing, to be finished by the start of July, I am trying out a new paper, seems quite good, although I can't get many layers down. I hope you all like.

Just a note for anybody wanting an urgent drawing done, any more will have to wait until I have finished Fran's drawing of Bootsy, as poor Fran has been waiting long enough, and I don't have having a half drawn drawing hanging around for so long.

his eyes look more real on the pic emma is drawing than it looks on the photo!

[Donna]

The eyes are what makes each drawing special I think - be good to see the photo that is being used to draw from....

CJ - I purchased some cartridge paper from WHSmiths (under £4 for an A4 pad) and 24 WHS watercolour pencils for £4.99, a good HB pencil, a kneadable putty rubber (WHS sells these) and a regular Staedtler Mars Plastic eraser, a good pencil sharpener.

All of this cost under £12.

[Donna]

Oscar is coming alive!!! Amazing as usual Emma!

[EmmaG]

Thanks Donna, for a black cat he has been very easy to draw :)

[Donna]

Thanks Donna, for a black cat he has been very easy to draw :)

Oh dear, are black cats hard to do???? I can dye Misty to a blond for her drawings perhaps???:shock: :-D

[EmmaG]

I find them easy to draw but I know some artists do find them very difficult as they can look very flat.

No need to bleach Misty :)

[borderdawn]

Looking excellent Emma, super work. Maybe I could ask you do one of my friends Lurcher at some point? He has recently lost his mother and the dog means the world to him.
Dawn.

[EmmaG]

Hi Dawn, Sorry to hear about your friend losing his mother :( , of course I will have a go at drawing the Lurcher, I would love to have a go at drawing a dog, please email me the photos at EJG@Supanet.com :)

thanks

[JemBob]

Another update

Just need to finish the white fur off, add a tail :) (I think) and shade a little bit of colour for the floor, then make a few minor changes and this should be done :)

What do you all think??

[emma_pen]

You are amazing, Emma!

[Saracatz]

Hi Emma I'm a newbie and this is the first thread I have looked at and I have to say you are a fab artist, I would love you to do my cats and I have a rather nice picture of my mums dog called Tess who unfortunately is rather poorly and we think she may not be with us much longer, wouldn't it be a lovely rememberance gift.
Hope you don't think I am being rather forward being so new here myself, I bet your talents are in high command,
and why not they are beautiful and I haven't looked at all of them.

[robk]

this is a tallent i have always admired.... i litaraly cant draw a strait line!! cant spell one either lol

[Andrewd]

Looking good!
