Retro Sketchbook:Sheep

 

I’m sharing another page from my 1970s sketchbook. The sheep in the featured image were drawn on my 15th birthday. The sketchbook was a birthday present.

Some time later, I have entertained myself by ‘improving’ the pencil work with a red ballpoint.  Later, when I began oil painting, I began signing my artworks using ‘Teen’. That is the name used by my family.

At the time, we rented an old farm house on a sheep farm on the outskirts of Hamilton, Victoria.

I wonder why I crossed out the sheep head on the top right – it looks pretty good to me now! I think it is a lamb, as is the one on the top left. I really should try sketching the sheep next door. When we are done with winter, I shall give it a go.

Thanks for looking! I hope you are about to enjoy a great weekend.  🙂

The Wyvern:

Originally sent from my windows phone, but the text didn’t come with it. I decided to add the other images, too.

I’ve had three sessions with the wyvern. I have just the back end to do and then probably another session to finish it off. I thought I had cross-hatching to do, but that was only if I didn’t have powdered graphite for the background. I have done some on the cliff to give it texture. The cliff will need a lot more layers to make it black enough.
