Artist's Comments

Another picture for the zoo thing. I may not be submitting my hogs because they will not fit in a standard mat (I'm most upset about this... well, peeved anyway). I drew this one to replace it. Hopefully I will be able to get the hogs to work, however. I really, really want to use them.

Haven't used hairspray yet. I'm going to try and find a kind that sprays on more consistantly.

In charcoal and based on a photo I took a year or two ago at the Denver Zoo: [link]

The face is a little messed up. The eyes are too far apart and some of the features are too darkened. Other than that, I'm okay with it

Oooooh, I really like this one too! The legs seem a bit short for the body, but I love the shading (as always) and the texture of the fur. I think the face is fine, and the rocks look great too! I hope you can get the hogs one to work, that one's AWESOME (though this one is too). Can you trim it to fit perhaps? Oh, and if you're looking for a spray on sealant, I'd look for an official art one at like Michaels - I know they have stuff in the art section specifially for sealing chalk and pencil drawings.

Good idea! I'm actually going to Micheals tomorrow to try and find an appropriate mat. They should carry a good spray. Yipee!

That's gorgeous! I love your shading, and the face is spot-on!

My only critique would be to make the legs a bit longer. But other than that- perfectioN! Very well done!
