There’s nothing like getting your first puppy to love! This graphite pencil drawing is of a little girl who has just claimed her first love at the local animal shelter. Can’t you hear her saying “He’s mine!”. UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images are now available as signed art prints at my etsy store! http://www.etsy.com/shop/nolimitsart [...]
I love the way the cat’s fur is backlit in this graphite pencil drawing. Can’t you hear her softly purring? I posted a similar drawing, now filed under the pets category, a while ago. They’d make a pair to frame and hang together!
I did this graphite pencil drawing as a “thank you” for my neighbor who helped me shovel snow this winter. He owns Quinn, a gorgeous Weimaranar. She’s got a wonderful personality, is very well trained and seems to love everyone. UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images are now available as signed art prints at my [...]
Arabian horses are incredible animals, and I wanted to do a graphite pencil drawing that captured the grace, power and intelligence of this breed. Although I don’t any longer own horses, nor did I ever actually ride them, I love their beauty and do still enjoy going to horse shows with camera in hand.
Over the years there have been many cats in my life that have come and gone, providing endless subject matter for drawings. I’ll be posting more feline drawings regularly. This particular kitty was Samantha, and oddly enough, she had 6 toes on each front paw. I should have named her Thumbs, but that just seemed [...]
This graphite pencil drawing is of kittens brought home from a large animal refuge in Colorado. Little did I know what I was getting myself into with these brothers. Perhaps because they came from a very busy environment, with lots of activity and a variety of critters always coming and going, they were incredibly outgoing, afraid of nothing, [...]
This graphite pencil drawing is of a little yorkshire terrier pup, very appropriately named Moxie Roxie, who may be only 3 inches off the ground, but she doesn’t know that! Even at only 4 months of age, that wonderfully invincible terrier attitude shines through. Absolutely nothing intimidates this tiny yorkie. UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images are now available as signed art [...]
Yes, a cat can be grumpy and I wanted to capture that expression in a graphite pencil drawing. There’s a pecking order that happens when you own more than one cat! When I brought the newest kitten home and set him down on the floor in front of the others, the matriarch of the bunch was [...]
Well……….I couldn’t make the bed! The cat was snoozin’ so peacefully, there was no wayI could disturb her late morning cat nap. My goal with this graphite pencil drawing was to convey the absolutely soft atmosphere of the scene. The way the sun was streaming through the window and catching her fur, the way folds in the blankets [...]
When I did this graphite pencil drawing, we lived out in the country when the kids were small, and Barney, the neighbor’s bassett hound, pretty much owned the neighborhood. His owners were gone off to work each day and he’d get lonely so he’d come lumbering down the middle of the road on those huge [...]
