Drawing Day 2010
Today is Drawing Day, and for the event I put together a quick drawing of a pair of African hunting dogs. I've had a bunch of photos of these guys for a while, and I really want to do a large drawing with several of them in it. However, I realized that black and white would not suit these wonderfully colorful dogs. So... that gave me the idea for this drawing - a small-scale test, if you will, with the tinted charcoal that I have not used in some time. I do need to practice more with the tinted charcoal. With such a limited range of colors it is hard to get the depth I like. But I think this test is promising.
Happy Drawing Day!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments!
Cris, how might one contribute to a Blog-A-Thon?
Quite simple, one would write a post on the subject (or post a related image and tell the tale behind it) and then send the link to the blog-a-thon organiser (me) and then the organiser would include it with a description in the blog-a-thon post so other readers could come check it out. :o)
I'll be including posts until tomorrow morning Europe time so... feel free to join if you'd care to and can!
Thanks, Cris. I'm so sorry, I had to run out of town for a couple days. But now I know to be ready for next year!
Thank you, BMV. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, you cannot add your site to Blogs of Note - they find you and add you.
