Work in Progress Sheep painting Stage 1

Piglets

Another drawing inspired by the visit to Bicton. The sow was lying down in some straw while several piglets raced and scurried around her. There were probably 9 piglets in reality but I simplified things by just tackling 6 of them. This is colored pencil, biro and copic marker for the straw!

New Born Lamb sketch

Here's the first of a series of sketches inspired by a recent vist to Lambing Sunday. Tried to capture the youth and cuteness of this new born lamb as simply as possible. Here I've used pencil and blue biro, the biro is used to provide the finishing lines having first established the tonal areas with loosely defined pencil shading.

More inspiration...

These three new born lambs had escaped their field at the Lambing Sunday at Bicton College near Exmouth in Devon and went off to explore the daffodils. Rest assured they were safely returned to the confines of their field shortly afterwards. Lambing Sunday at Bicton is well worth a look, beautiful scenery and grounds and lots of amusing animal antics to observe! :-)
