OK, I THINK I HAVE THIS OK.
SORRY I'm, A LITTLE LATE.
HAD A LOT OF OTHER PICS AND THEMES IN MIND BUT WAS A LITTLE BUSY THIS WEEK.
(1) SEEN THIS LITTLE SQUIREL AT THE GOLF COURSE. (THINK HE WAS AFTER MY BALL)
(2) BUTTERFLY, ANOTHER FROM THE GOLF COURSE.
(3) AND A SIMPLE PIC OF A BIRD, BT A GOOD DRAWING SUBJECT.
(4)HUMMING BIRD IN THE BACK YARD. (SORRY, LOST SOME PICS I PUT ON THE COMPUTER SO I HAD TO USE THIS ONE. I TRIED TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER AND KIND OF DISTORTED IT)
(5) CORN SNAKE (I'M WORKING ON GETTING A PHOTO MY SELF OF A RATTLESNAKE BUT RAN OUT OF TIME)
OK. I COUNTED WRONG. THE CONURE IS MARVIN AND THE COLOR PORTION WAS ERASED ACCIDENTLY,
I'LL PUT IT UP LATER.
HOPE EVERYONE LIKES THE PICS, HAVE FUN.

Here is my attempt at the bird. It isn't great, but I only started drawing. I am kinda happy with it .

Josh~

GOOD JOB!

Great pics!! I hope today slows down because I want to get started. Hooray.. Love the snake. When I was young and foolish, I raised Burmese Pythons. Made lots o' money. And spent that lots o' money.

Great birdie, Vaunt.

i like your pictures i think i'll gave one of them a try

Vaunt nice bird

The snake is great. I think it needs much time to draw. Perhaps I will try it, but I need more time than a week

greetings Uta

Great challenge! nice variety of photo's.

Nice drawing Vaunt...I also tried a pencil sketch of the bird.

MLB,
The pictures look great!
Uta take as much time as you need, just post it in this thread after.(you will have to look for it, but then we will all see it).
Vaunt, Brian,
Great job with the bird.

Paulette

Vaunt great job on the bird .. I was just thinking no way and I drawing all those feathers lol .
Brian nice job hun .

NICE DRAWING.
SORRY THE HUMMING BIRD PHOTO DID'NT COME OUT BETTER, IT WAS EARLY MORNING AND THOSE SUCKERS ARE FAST.



TAKE ALL THE TIME U NEED, WERE NOT GOING ANY WERE.
AS SOON AS I CAN GET OUT AND FIND A RATTLESNAKE I'LL PUT IT IN THE INSPIRATIONAL SIGHT.
THAT WILL BE A FUN ONE TO DRAW. (IT WILL PROBABLY BE A STRIKING POSE

Thanks Paulette, Kimbo, and MLB.....and

your photo of the bird is great...I just wanted him to have all his feet....but I think I made them too big...lol.

I just tried a sketch of the squirrel....this was much harder then I thought...thanks for the challenge.

Here's my first ever snake. Trying out the Derwent pencils. arghhhh. Snakes are hard but color is harder.

Nice bird and squirrel, Bri-guy..

I tried the bird this time. Graphite and Derwent.

And here is the hummingbird. I have a terrible time with colored pencil but maybe that will change when Ms. Jeanette gives the class on colored pencils.

This was a little squirrely to do. I have not perfected fur yet..

YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AS ALWAYS!
LOVE THE COLOR!



NICE.
I LIKE IT



GOOD JOB.
I'VE GOT ONE FOR U THAT I'M PLANNING ON DOING.
DRAW THE SNAKE AS IF IT WERE LOOKING AT THE BIRD FOR LUNCH!

Beautiful drawings ...Cyn Kid

Brian nice job I also wanted to try that picture and decided after getting into it he was going to be hard . so I did only the head lol .

Cyn wonderful job hun .. you have been busy lol

Thank you MLB, Bri-guy and Kim. You are all much better at color than I am. I love the cockatiel in MLB's gallery.. And of course, Kim is the color pencil queen.. And then there is Brian who has come so far with his stuff... I love these challenges because they really do challenge me..

And I want to see MLB do the one with the snake looking at the bird for lunch..

Brian, Kim and Cyn,
Great job!
Paulette

wow! kim, that is excellent.
u r verry good!

Thanks Paulette! sure was fun and great practice.

and thanks Kim.....too bad you stopped I think its a great one..... I like how you did the fur.

Thanks Cyn ...I really love your squirrel and his expression on his face....looks kind of like he wants a peanut but is afraid to ask...lol....

I tried with color pencils but I do not get exact color. I think I need more color pencils.
I need to learn more about colors.
If I get time I will try another weekly challenge.

Great colours on the butterfly!

happy to learn the color pencils, I love the black and white drawings but some cartoon drawings need the bright colors, depend on the drawings i think.
I like to learn pencil color, water color, and oil color. I am so greedy isn't it?
Thank to all of you to give me a nice comment for humming bird.
