Game Review – Dirt 4 on Win 10
Cat – coloured pencil
A light grey cat with blue eyes and white markings. This was drawn with coloured pencils on a grey paper with a few white highlights added with an ink pen. Pretty pleased with how this came out, the eyes and some of the fur in particular are quite good. May have been a bit heavy-handed with the ink pen but it’s all a learning process.

Lion in graphite
Here’s a pic I did late last year from a class I’m taking at ArtTutor.com
Hopefully you can tell it’s a lion. It’s drawn in graphite which can get a particular unpleasant shine if you don’t take precautions. It shows up particularly when taken with flash photography as was the case here. The focus was meant to be on the face which I think I’ve achieved quite well. The body is less well drawn though I don’t think the rear is too bad.
