WIP - Humpback Whales
After much deliberation on several ideas running through my head, I decided to do a pair of humpback whales as my next drawing. This will be the third in the mother/baby series, and I am working on blue matboard. This isn't the best photo, but after laying down some black along the bottom and white sun rays around the whales, I started at the top (the baby is not quite finished). The hard part of this one is drawing above and below the water at the same time - I hope it comes across well. I need to reduce the highlights on the surface of the water, but I like how it's coming along. (Note: the color is way off on this photo.)

You draw very nice. I like it. Also I think that really expresses who draws a very important part of being human. I used to draw a child and I stopped and that skill that I recognized myself and my family and art teacher eventually vanished. Now not only cost me horrors draw but I do not even care calls. Yes see my attention.

Extraordinary work Heather!
My name is Rohan and I'm 18 years old. I live in Bangalore, India. I love wildlife and I used to sketch a bit myself but I stopped years ago. I think I should give it another shot. I'm amazed by your work. Please view my blog. I started it 5 minutes ago and I don't really know how exactly all this works but you could view it anyway.
Thanks everyone. Rohan, every blog has to start somewhere, right?
