Sketch of ocean-going tugboat

[packerbacker]

I like tugboats almost as much as old trains so I decided to sketch one with charcoal and ink. Now I'm back to sketching another old train. Still want to see some stuff from rginn!

Lets see some more...

ok stefen, I'll post a sketch I did of a coyote a while back. I used a photo that a t-net member had taken of a coyote for referrence. I think I may have posted it before. This one is done in just pencil. Can't find the pic of the fox I sketched. Problem is, I give most of my stuff away and didn't take pics before I let them go.

That is a killer sketch!...if I may ask, what is that background/ matte board?

 

[packerbacker]

not sure junk, I think it was just a cheap, wooden frame with glass and matting already and I just put the drawing in that and gave it to one of my boys.

Pret-ty good, there! If I get back to Oklahoma I have some stuff stored there that might be presentable or I could go to some folks houses and ask to take pictures of my old stuff. All I got here is practice stuff mostly (it's a good learning technique to copy, over and over, the work of an artist whose style you admire until you get a handle on how they do it, maybe) but I'll try to look up a couple of them.

I'm impressed. I like tugs, paddle wheelers, and all kinds of boats too. Great work Packer

Thanks all for the compliments. Tamrock, a few days ago my wife asked me to do a paddle wheeler and my d-i-l wants a Spanish galleon. Maybe I should have stayed retired.
