Endangered Reflections, Work in Progress 6

Endangered Reflections

Hello All,

Sorry I haven't posted an update for a while but I was in Atlanta at the Colored Pencil Society of America convention.  After I got back it took a few days before I could start working on it again.

I am almost finished with the log, I still have some work to do on the left side of it.  I did however, add a little bit of the water and reflections (I just couldn't help myself, I can't wait to get started on the reflections, LOL).

As I mentioned in my past postings this piece is done with 100% colored pencil on suede mat board (light tan).  The size is 12" x 22" and the title is "Endangered Reflections".  

The leopard is an Amur Leopard.  The Amur Leopard is native to the Primorye region of southeastern Russia and the Jilin Province of northeast China.  There are less than 100 of these leopards left in the wild, they are at the verge of becoming extinct.  There are some conservation efforts currently trying to save the species.  If you are interested in reading about them and the conservation efforts, simply Google "Amur Leopard" and you will find quite a bit of information regarding the species

If you should have any questions or comments don't hesitate to speak up.  Don't forget to keep scribbling!

Endangered Reflections, Work in Progress 5

Endangered Reflections

Hello All,

Here's another update of my Amur Leopard piece.  This will be part of my "Reflections" series.  This update is only part of the finished piece.  There is a lot more at the bottom of this piece where there will be quite a bit of the reflection.

The piece is 22" x 12", is 100% colored pencils on suede mat board.  I'm using a variety of brands which includes Prismacolor, Lyra Polychromos, Derwent Colorsoft, Derwent Studios and Caran d'Ache Poblo.  I'm also using the White Stabilo All Marking pencil for the whites, this pencil works really well on the suede mat board, it doesn't skip as much as a regular white pencil.

I will now start working on the log that the leopard is standing on and then on to the water and reflections.

If you should have any questions or comments just speak up.

Critically Endangered; Amur Leopard

Critically Endangered; Amur Leopard

Hello All,

Here is my latest piece.  It is done with 100% Colored Pencil on Suede Mat Board.

This magnificent animal is one of the top ten "Critically Endangered" animals.  This is an Amur Leopard.  It is said that there are only 40-60 left in the wild.  It's such a shame that there are so few left in the wild.

If you have any questions or comments let me know.  Don't forget..... Keep Scribbling!!
