I like to draw and I like deer (but I don’t really know how to draw them). But there was a ‘photo of the day’ in the newspaper (yes, I read a physical newspaper) recently of a rather nice looking stag, so I decided to try to draw him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I made this drawing in my sketchbook with a watercolor pencil and I liked it so well that I decided to do another version of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This one was done with watercolor pencil and ink on a postcard. I was going to send it to a friend, but I thought it turned out rather well, and I was afraid that I could never do another one quite as good (probably true).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I decided to try and draw this image in different ways. Here he is in watercolor and ink with a red stripe outline against a dark background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here’s the opposite, a dark deer against a light background. (I don’t really like the way this one turned out, I think I should have used a different color for the light and made the darker bits darker. Oh well, that’s another drawing.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was a different sort of image, abstract blobs of color against a pale gray background, outlined in black pen. The antlers are a helpful clue, one can guess that it’s a deer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found it interesting to try different ways of doing the same image, and I hope that I learned enough to make another ‘good’ drawing. Perhaps I will send the postcard to someone, someday (but not today). \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
