Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My.......

.....Well Tiger anyway lol.
I was asked if I would draw a Tiger for someone, the other day, and I have never even attempted to do so before, so thought it may be a good challenge. I did warn though, that I may not do a great job on it, but was willing to try :)
So after looking around for a little inspiration, I jumped in with pencils sharpened!
I was a little unsure with my end product, as I can be my own worst enemy, even at the best of times! That's when I knew it was time to put the pencil down lol.

Horse

I have been playing around with compressed charcoal pencils and had a go at drawing a horse head. I used to love to sit for hours and hours drawing horses, but time does not allow me to do so anymore!

I absolutely love working in black and white, and overall I was quite happy with my end result.

Postcard swap

My niece Lisa Lee, signed me up for  iHanna's postcard swap
so we had to make 10 postcards, any way, any how, after thinking for a bit, I decided that I would
just hand draw mine, a little boring to some maybe with all the wonderful mixed media out there :)
I mentioned in a previous post that I had not drawn in a long time, so I thought this would be a great
opportunity to get some practice in!
I decided to do a fairy theme, I mean who doesn't like fairies, right? lol and then to finish them off I
added a fairy quote to each of them.
I got my 10 addresses a couple days ago, and I have 9 addresses in the USA and 1 in The Netherlands.
I am still finishing up a few bits on the last couple so I decided that I would send 5 today and will send the next 5 on monday.
Here are the first five that are already on their way to their recipients...who will they be???

I will be back to share the other 5 as soon as I have finished them.
* EEk sorry, I forgot to take a photo of the last 5 before sending...Sorry!

Meanwhile, why not pop on over HERE to see what everyone else has made in this swap...
