ANIMAL DRAWING OF A DEER

Hello everyone! Hope you're doing fine.
This is a realistic drawing I made today. It's a drawing of a Deer.
It is my entry to the animal drawing challenge. I'm very glad to take part in the competition.

I used the following materials:
2B graphite pencil
General's charcoal pencil
Flat paint brushes
Small makeup brushes
Eraser
Mono zero eraser
Gloss card

I got the reference from Pinterest. The reference and progress shots are shown below

I started with a graphite sketch with 2B graphite pencil. Carefully outlining the shape of the deer.

Then from the right hand side, I began to shade and adding details.

I then proceeded to the left horn before going to the body.

I shaded the entire drawing and putting everything in place, like the eye and mouth before adding final details.

Finished work.
