Hummingbird on Lantana

Hummingbird on Lantana. This tufted coquette hummingbird (Lorphornis Ornatus), had such stunning colors l was just itching to get my pencils out and draw! I have wanted to draw a hummingbird for a long time but have never found quite the right reference photo, but then l found this one and what a gorgeous little bird it is.

The Kitten

Pictures from a small blue eyed kitten drawn using colored pencils. Cat art drawn with coloured pencils.

The Kitten. Having drawn several cats, but never a kitten l thought that the time had come and when l saw those gorgeous big grey, blue eyes l knew l had to draw them, and it was such a pleasure to draw. I love drawing eyes and just wanted to capture all the expression in this little kittens face, even though it does make me feel a teeny bit sad!

Dormouse onFigwort

Picture of a cute dormouse peeking out of yellow flowers drawn using colored pencils. Colored pencil wildlife art. Mouse drawing. Mouse and flowers drawn using coloured pencils.

The Dormouse. I am still feeling the need after drawing the last Eagle Owl for a little light and prettiness, and what could be cuter than the gorgeous little dormouse peeking through the yellow flowers. I can't tell you just how much l have enjoyed drawing him.

Painted Lady Butterfly

The Painted Lady Butterfly. After drawing the second Eagle Owl, l felt the need for a little colour in my artwork. I have been wanting to draw a butterfly for quite a while so when l came across this gorgeous reference photo l was really excited.

The Snow Leopard

Picture of a Snow Leopard cub drawn using coloured pencils. Colored pencil wildlife art. Drawing of a Snow Leopard using colored pencils. Colored pencil painting of a leopard. Leopard colored pencil drawing.

The Snow Leopard. I have wanted to draw a Snow Leopard for quite a while now. I love wildlife art and drawing wildlife of all kinds, and big cats are just beautiful. I fell instantly in love with this gorgeous leopard cub on first sight. He is only young, but seems to have had quite a life. The top of one ear appears to be missing and he has a big scar on his nose. And that look in his eyes! This was such an exciting piece to draw.

The Chimp

This gorgeous chimp was a piece of wildlife art that l could not resist drawing. One look at those eyes and l knew l had to draw the little fellow. He was quite a challenge for me, but l so enjoyed working on him, and was quite sad when he was complete.
