This, dear readers, is not a cat. It is a kangaroo. It’s a request from Fozziemum at the blog dinz1234.com about the life in rural Australia! In fact, it’s two kangaroos, or a drawing of a kangaroo with her infant (and i suppose that an infant roo is called a “joey” – if i am … Read more
This is a drawing I did after a photo i stumbled across this morning. I’m not sure what kind of bird it is – perhaps someone can help me out? It does look like a chick though. The photo was acompanied by a poem in the “Drycrickjournal”. I really liked the poem that speaks of … Read more
These last days I’ve been searching around WordPress for the search-tag “Wildlife” – today this meercat from the site woollymuses.wordpress.com and I didn’t have to search any longer ! I’d like to learn how to draw sunlight with a ballpoint pen. I suppose it’s just a question of going really dark on the shaded parts … Read more

I’ve been looking for crow photos these last three days. What a strange and beautiful bird! Finally I found a good photo on a blog called TPJPhoto.net The drawing turned out good, but the colors are off. While crows are black, they have beautiful nuances of blue in the sunlight. My drawing looks more like … Read more
These are Llamas (I’m pretty sure that’s what they are) I found the photo on Charles D’s Photography blog – He’s made some nice llama pictures in the zoo! These were quick sketches. The proportions are off –Â i did the big one first. Started with the ears and realized that the rest of the … Read more
Behold for this is a chipmunk. (Or is it a squirrel? What is the difference?) Trying to do something different once in a while. This one was quick – The green grass turned out a little unnatural. Maybe i ought to have faded it more in the background. Any thoughts? I have a couple of … Read more
