Bobcat Drawing

Hi Everyone!
Bengal Tiger animation
Here we are entering the holidays already! It doesn’t seem possible how quickly this year has gone by. We have been so busy with our coloring books, visiting family and friends, raking leaves and keeping our fireplace going with the cold weather.

Well, I have finished the last big cat of my large cat drawings, seven total, plus the tiger on the cover of my first coloring book, Wild Things of the World. I am working towards creating a coffee table book that will be a collection of a lot of my colored pencil drawings over the years. It will also have some progressing samples of drawings to give you an idea of some of my techniques for drawing that may be useful to other artists. Here is the drawing of a bobcat in progression.

I am putting these large cat drawings on my Redbubble merchandise where you can enjoy them on clothing, home decor, framing and matting and other items.  Just click on the Merchandise bubble on our website homepage to reach my storefront.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season this year and a blessed year in 2023.

Stay Warm!

Jaguar Drawing in Progress

Welcome all of you Big Cat Lovers.

Leopard drawing progressI am now working on to my second large cat drawing, a beautiful Jaguar. When it is completed I will add him to our Redbubble store. This is a fascinating challenge drawing six large cats in order to improve my skills as an artist.  As each drawing progresses I experience a feeling as if we are facing each other in real life. It can be a little bit unsettling looking into the eyes of these beauties as they stare back at you!

This is the reason I love drawing, when you can “get inside” of your drawing and create something that moves you in some way. I hope those who see my artwork can experience something that moves in them.

Must get back to drawing  . . . !

Lion Drawing in Progress

Hello Wonderful Followers!

Lion Drawing progressionWell, I am finally off to publication with my new children’s coloring book Wild Things for Kids. This book will be over 100 pages and full of fun drawings and activities for kids of all ages. It will be available on Amazon over the next couple of weeks.

I am taking a sabbatical from creating coloring books for a couple of months and am focusing on an aggressive project of drawing large cats of the world. This will include drawings of tigers, lions, leopards and panthers.

I am posting the beginning of a lion drawing currently in progression. My husband said I always seem to start my drawings with the subject’s eyes. I explained to him the reason for this is if I can bring my subject to life through their eyes then it helps me bring life to the drawing. If there is no life in the eyes there is no life in the artwork and I cannot complete the drawing.

I would love for you to follow me in this challenging project and see how it turns out. The drawings will be available in prints at our Redbubble store soon. 

Happy summer days!
