Life is keeping me pretty occupied right now and for one reason or another I don't have as much time to spend on steemit but I wanted to make a quick post to share some of the pencil drawings I have done lately and also to say that I hope to be back posting regularly in a week or so.
As you can no doubt see, I am still struggling with getting the hair and hands right but I am still very pleased with the progress I have made since I started drawing again about 6 months ago. :)
This is also the first dog I have ever drawn so I'm pretty happy with how that has turned out! :)
Please let me know what you think.
These are all my own drawings and are exclusive to steemit. They won't be found anywhere else online.
Hope everyone is having an excellent day!!

You've caught the character of the subjects and very nice balance of light and shadow.

nice capture of facial expressions, those don't look like easy subjects to draw. Hair has always been difficult for me in pencil, I'll do everything I can to not draw the hair, except for the shadowed parts. I can't get the pencil sharp enough to draw hairs anyway!

Thanks a lot @therealpaul. I've watched a few youtube videos and it seems so simple in theory but in practice it is a little more difficult to get right. It takes a lot of something which I possess only in limited amounts....patience. :(
Hope your day is going well buddy!

I think my patience is limited too, but if I'm doing something that I enjoy, I don't really need patience, I'm busy!

These are great, Tony. Though, they make me wonder. When are you gonna draw Vito??

Vito is about eleven times more gorgeous than Mhysa, so I am just going to assume that you're joking.

That may well be so but since Luke asked me first it wouldn't really be right of me to do Vito first now would it?

The doggy looks adorable! I think the people look so real it's kind of creepy >.> like they're going to come out of the picture. I really like how you drew the dog's eyes; the eyes look very moist and the tongue in contrast looks very dry (it looks like the dog is panting).

Thanks @errymil. I have a terrible camera and am a terrible photographer. Not sure if that helps or hinders the look of the pictures. :)
Thanks for the lovely compliment and I hope to be back asap with #ltdwf.
Have a wonderful day my friend!! :)

They are all good, but the dog one is brilliant as it really captures the devilment and cuteness of the dog :-)

Didn't look like you struggled with the hair and the hands! These are superb! I especially love the dog, and how you drew his eyes. 💕 More of drawings like these soon? 😊

That really is a compliment coming from you @erangvee! Thank you so much! :)
I hope to post more drawings but finding the time is difficult right now. Plus, it feels a bit strange posting my own drawings when I'm running a drawing contest. :(
Hope all is well with you my friend and that you are having a fabulous day whatever you are doing! :)

I guess "finding the time" really is one common denominator for many people; it's getting difficult for me, too. Plus, I don't think posting your drawings would be weird! 😊 In fact, I think it would serve as good motivation for the contest entrants to do well - with the accompanying thought that the host is an awesome artist himself. 👍😁
Thank you, have a great day, too! 😊

Thanks @erangvee. Im OK at drawing portraits but everything else is a struggle which is part of the reason I started the contest, to help myself improve. :)
Im going to hoprfully find tim3 to enter the steemgigs contest by @deveerei, draw a DC Superhero. That looks like fun.:)
