I think we must have used the very same reference photo from NG... LOL what are the odds. You did a fantastic job on it, excellent blending, fur looks so soft.

Awesome work, Christina!

Nice work. similar to one I did in pastel, and also in scratchart, so I know how difficult it is to capture the image and the feeling of the animal itself. My reference photo was given to me by a photographer from our local newspaper. Your colored pencil work shows great attention to detail without losing the "big picture" values.

Another beautiful rendition Christina...:) Intricate masterpiece. I like the fade to B & W...or fade into color in this...:)

Victor Rolfe 26 Jan 2006

At first, I thought this was a truly excellent photograph... Then, when I looked more closely, I thought it was a fantastic painting. It wasn't 'till I read the description that I realised it is actually a drawing. Amazing!!

Artist Reply: As I have said many times - for me personally, it is the biggest compliment for people to mistake my work for photography, and then realize it is actually pencils... :) Thanks very much! :)
