Last autumn, we noticed a particularly friendly young deer who was unafraid of us. As I hiked our farm, I'd often encounter this guy. When the other deer ran off, he lingered. I always kept my distance, but was charmed by his curiosity.
Hunger brought him up close to the house to eat where other critters didn't dare, giving me good photo opportunities.
This winter, he's been visiting my birdfeeding station and dining on sunflower seeds, so I decided to include him in my nature journal.
Here's the reference photo I used for my drawing.
I started with a graphite pencil sketch, then inked in the lines and added color with my Derwent Drawing Pencils. I touched in some spots --his ears & around his eyes -- with a Posca paint marker that I wanted to be bold white.
I hope you'll use these reference photos to make drawings and paintings.
