Yet another WIP to peruse.

I won't put the usual banter in because you likely know how it works by now. 

Here are the WIP's for the beautiful Friesian. He was such a lovely subject. 

The first ugly stage of working out shading. I tend to do very little detail when I do the initial drawings

This painting was done on commission by a surgeon who purchased my graphite painting "No So Different".  He wanted to hang the two together to compare the two hands.

First the outline with a smudge stick

Here's another example of a WIP. I tend to start of with a very simple outline with not a lot of detail. I do this just to get the dimensions correct and things in the right place. The details come later.
