Christmas Moose, Meece, or Mooses....

Thought I'd share some sketches of a Christmas moose that I did a few days ago. I bought him for a gift last year and decided to keep him. He's the only Christmas decoration we had up this year, and he's been standing on the table for over a year. I didn't feel like finding anything to sketch and he was handy, so he was my model for three days. He was a very good model. He didn't moo or move once. :)

This kind of fits in with the Creative Every Day theme for this year, which is Body. He does have an unusual and colorful body. I just love his striped tights! :)


Sketch one is a line drawing with a pencil in the Moleskine. Some of the lines aren't strong enough to show up in the scan. I had so much trouble getting these scanned that I didn't darken the lines digitally, but maybe you can see.

Sketch 2 is a shaded drawing, which I didn't darken either. It is also pencil.

Sketch 3 is a Zig permanant marker. Yep, I'm still having trouble with the feet running off the page! I actually had to shorten his legs to get this much of his feet on. LOL

Now I'm wishing I had done one in color before I posted! He's very cute with his long burgundy & camel colored striped legs! Hope he made you smile! :)
