I wasn't surprised at all Norma !! great tinted Charcoal drawing !! he looks like he is in a wind storm .. Just the cutest little pup !!

I have a feeling this little guy will be getting a lot of attention..

You are so good with those marbles and I remember that bubble we all did .. Playing with light and reflections .. Just beautiful !!

great work you guys .. I love these.

Great contributions guys! Looks like Max is pretty popular.

I'll start something today.

Don't know why you had to put such great pictures up when I already have a full schedule for the week.....I may just stretch it out a month..already started the dog, gotta try the marble in cp , and the squirrel is cute (but they are on my enemy list for home invasion)...etc. It does look like a fun week , everyone is jumping on these.

Great work Kim, looks like it is spinning. Wonderful.

Lotte he looks so cute and fluffy. Wonderful work.

Mumwond you did a great job. Love the look of the tinted charcoals. Gorgeous.

Another great drawing of the little fellow. He is a star.

Good work Jon. Great expression on his face. You did an excellent job on the fabric folds.

great pics and now im back from a week of colds and hang overs i am going to tackle a young Kim portraits always a challenge

Ive got a really quick question before i start doing the weekly challenge. Can i put my own style into the picture or do have to just draw the picture as is.
Thank you an d iI'm looking forward to partaking in the challenge

I encourage you to put your own style into the drawing ...that is what makes them all the same yet so different

Great job Jon. He looks so cute.

Alright thank you gunna get started.

Max is a really small dog with a big personality lol he is a tea cup long hair chiuaua..no clue how to spell that and no bigger then a kids shoe ...he is really cute and everyone has done a beautiful job ...my mom loved these drawings and would like to print them off and frame them in a cameo frame .

Max is really adorable, oh my!!!

My contribution

Jodopsi what a great job well done.

Another huge well done to everyone who has contributed so far they are all awesome.

Jon

I've tried the young Kim with graphites on cartridge paper - about 8 x 10 ins. You haven't changed a bit - apart from the glasses!

You spell it like this Chihuahua I didnt know how to spell it before and I always have to pronounce it like Chi Hua Hua lol

Thank you Roxy Jodopsi great job !!

Norma ..I think it shows alot of my features...thats one of my favorite photos .

this is my drawing of the statue. I should use a scanner, my camera can't focus on the entire page and that makes some parts of the drawing look faint...

awesome!! great drawing

Ali, awesome job!!
And thanks all, as always

Used charcole to draw Max

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent love it.
Jon

excellent drawings ...the detail in the statue is well done and the shading is so soft looking .
Max is very popular lol well done !

I just say Taco Bell dog ..

Hi Kim~ I love your pics for this week. I am going to attempt you as a little girl. It's funny, I started it and then when I wanted to post which I would be trying I wanted to find the little girls name. That is a great photo of you and I hope I can do it some justice.

OK, I'll try the marbles. I've got a fixation about shiny spherical objects lately
