Here's this.... @cluckmecoop7 's chick, drawn in pencil

These are probably the best I've got, though I wish I could learn to shade properly. Based off of the winners from last year, I probably won't win, though.

Now a days, art teachers have shade pencils that students use to shade, it is pretty much paper rolled to look like a pencil and you tear way the tip part as you use it.
Back in the day, we used our fingers to shade.
Even tools in art tools evolve over time

I mean shade PROPERLY though, not just blend pencil...know where the darks and the lights are and how to define them just so so that it looks like the picture...
NOT an entry, NOT my art

though I suppose photorealism is a bit of a high bar to set for myself.

Tortillons and blending stumps! I've never peeled the paper off though, I have some with so much graphite in the tip that I can draw with them. Lol

Hi all... this is a reverse painting (painting on the back of glass) that I did for my coop.

I started by scrapping off the mirror backing and drew the design using enamel markers. I added a bit of latex paint color for pop... then painted white over the image for the final layer... she’s a Jersey Giant pullet.

This is a collage made from cut up National Geographic magazines. It has hidden pictures you can find like a hawk, ant, train, frog, seagull, penguin, and more. Can you find them?
