It's a long story …

a light-hearted look at life by Tresha Barger

I didn’t proportion it correctly and so the snout is a bit shorter than it should be. I’ll sketch this again to try to get the proportions right.

Eight points

Hubby found this skull in the pasture where he trains the dogs. The deer died of natural (but unknown) causes.

(My “art studio” is a couple of towels draped over a dining room chair.)

Good sketch. As for the studio, you have to start somewhere. 🙂

This makes me think of Georgia O’Keeffe. Good start to your sketching if you ask me.

  Thank you! I wanted to sketch the deer skull for quite some time, but I waited, working my way up to it. I can see progress in my sketches and that makes me happy.

    It looks great! I couldn’t do it, that’s for sure. Have you always sketched things or are you just now getting into it? Either way I like it.

    Thanks! I’m just now starting to sketch. I struggle with each sketch, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to get better at it than to keep at it.
