 It looks as though I’ve caught the pen and ink bug, I picked this medium to work on the myriad of curls in Tessa’s coat… I felt that pencil would not have given me the precision I wanted, and as I can be a messy worker, I didn’t want to spend ages cleaning up smudges….
This drawing moved along quite quickly, partly due to working out curl formation yesterday….
Again, I’ve done stage by stage photos to document this drawing’s progression…..

Pen and ink with coloured pencil on white heavyweight cartridge paper

 This drawing has had quite a journey. Again, I took progress shots through the ink drawing process, showing the stage by stage build up of the hair (curl upon curl!!) this drawing stage took about 5 hours to describe all of the immense amount of detail. These two lovely dogs are half poodle, half labrador, hence the tight curl to their coat. They are fantastic dogs with lovely temperaments and a fun, energetic outlook on life……
 
I almost left the drawing as a pure pen and ink, but after a few hours of looking and contemplation, the coloured pencils came out to add a softer dimension to their coats and a splash of colour into their eyes….

 I really enjoy the steady process of simply just drawing with the pen….. although I have battled with the detail today, having to look really hard to see what I needed to translate into pen marks, I’ve also been playing some loud tunes in the studio all afternoon, making this drawing go with a swing…….
(Thanks to Ellie Golding, PJ Harvey, Kate Rusby and Faithless for aiding my concentration!)
