Because I worry about ruining a drawing that is going well as much as I’m thrilled that it is going well; I stopped the Coyote illustration without a background. This is the same reason I added the lettering on the Raven after I’d done the drawing, had copies made; and colored some in. So,
But, because I was stuck at the Les Schwab in Port Townsend getting my ball joints replaced (hey, at a certain age…) for pretty much a whole day, I actually started AND finished the drawing and lettering on the Black Bear.
BUT, I didn’t color it in until I had copies made. SO, here’s where we are right now:


MEANWHILE (no, it’s more like a ‘So…’) if you noticed that there’s no color on the coyote itself, and not too much on the raven; it’s that Trish seems to believe that the drawings are, um, better. We’ll see. I’m planning on doing some others. We just had a big ass owl show up on our ring doorbell/camera. I know owls are spirit animals in the northwest, but not sure about some of the other animals that show up; raccoons, possums, squirrels, various other birds, cats… haven’t had a cougar yet, but they are known to frequent our area.
SO (more like ‘Oh’), I am planning on doing some more illustrations. Stay tuned.
