Description
I used different paper with this one that has a grain to it. It was mainly to try out a different texture of paper. Personally, I do like it, but crisp white bristol board still allows for way more detailing to be achieved (much better for close ups too). References were my own photos taken at London Zoo. I only did just a hint of a background here.Please enjoy.
Used: Varying 'B' graphite pencils on fine-grain heavyweight cartridge paper
Size: 29.5 cm x 42 cm

I really like the detail. It is good that you minimized the background so that it didn't detract from the subject.

awww...he is beautiful. i like the suttle background. yes, i can see the texture. it gives the drawing a whole different look compared to smooth paper. my current diary i jut bought has textured paper, so im experimenting in that. i do find you cant get as much detail in, but you do get the nice soft effect of the texture.

Yes, you do give up detail for texture, don't you! Texture does open up so many possibilities and is great for experimenting. That's such a great idea to get a book just for doing that.
Thank you for your comment Bec and all your input. It's always valuable to me.

It's so FLUFFEH looking! X3 Your fur always looks so nice~ You captured the camel attitude perfectly. It's so defiant! And I totally didn't realize that you made up the background. It just fit in so naturally!

Thank you ^^. I'm so glad that the background works, it was a last minute idea. I never thought that he might look defiant ... that's interesting.

You know I really do admire your pencil drawings a lot. The Camel looks great and I think the angle you chose to draw him/her in was very clever. Because its a hole different view from behind. Your shading always looks great and you have a talent for drawing fur.
