I don't usually draw objects/still life, but I wanted to do something different and so decided to draw some ice skates. It was hard to get a good picture of the drawing, but I think this looks close enough to the real thing.

Medium: Derwent graphite pencils, eraser, sketch paper.

The snow leopard - one of the most beautiful animals in the world and inspirational to draw. I didn't get this piece to turn out exactly as I wanted...I'm still experimenting with the colored pencil medium.

Medium: Prismacolor colored pencils, black pastel paper 23x30.5 cm.

I wanted to do this piece in colored pencil because the colors of the feathers are so pretty!

Medium: Prismacolor colored pencils, 35.5x27.9 cm sketch paper.
