I draw the pets of fellow Imgurians! (part 1)

Jun 11, 2017 10:11 PM

My favorite drawing to date. This is Tucker. Link to the original post by @Equestrian312: http://imgur.com/gallery/CFaDG

Here's Gus from @holybaconbatman His droopy eyes were my favorite.

A lamb from @caesarstoga Wool is the hardest texture that I've attempted to draw so far. Wasn't completely satisfied with the end result but this was a great challenge!

A kitten named Sushi belonging to @Sheep3

Bird tax. This is Craig, my lovebird that I had for several years.

All drawings were made on black Strathmore Artagain 9"x12" paper with Prismacolor pencils. Critique is welcome! I always take to heart any feedback.

I also have a small Etsy shop that I hope to expand in the future. I'm currently open for commissions.

I hope that's your pig! Always wanted one as a pet.

He is and he just turned ten. If you are serious about getting a pig, read this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1930580746/

These are gorgeous! We paid a teen $100 to do her 1st commission to draw our dog. Wanted to encourage her. She's really good!!

Wow that's very generous of you! You're a great person.

I want her to believe in herself. She thinks she has no talent. Holy f. This girl, like you, has a gift which shouldn't be wasted.

Wow! These are incredible. I've been looking for an artist for the family dog. I'll be reaching out on etsy in the near future. Thanks!!

Hi Mike, the composition of your picture is really great! This may be a little above the skill level that I'm currently at, (1/?)

But if I draw Stew, I'll message you with a link to the post when it's up on Imgur. (2/2)

What the fuck dude your cat looks like a model

Yup that cat's more attractive than me.

I think #3 could use more aggressive shading on the sides to make it less flat. I love your work, it's really great.

My cat is solid black OP, think you can manage that?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Does your cat have his/her eyes closed? I was actually going to try drawing a black cat in the future to see how it turns out!

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Eyes open, bright green/yellow eyes.

I can DM you pictures and you can see if it's something you'd like to try.

Recently lost my girl Erin might have to get a commission if I can afford it.

Sorry for your loss. Your dog is beautiful.

How long will you be doing these? I can't afford it atleast for another month

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I'll keep the listing on Etsy so it'll be there whenever you're ready to place an order.

It could be "your style" but I feel like you need to address SOME places that are filled in more - like birb's face and chest could use more

color just to show that they're based on 3d things? Does that make sense? Normally I paint-over stuff instead because I have legit brain

Thank you for the feedback! I'm still learning how to handle the paper I'm working with. I do agree with you that when I leave too (1/?)

much of the paper color showing through it does 'flatten' the drawing out. It's hard to find a balance that works well with (2/?)
