This was done on a 14 X 18 Ampersand white clayboard, using only an 8B graphite pencil.

Thank you evreyone for your comments.

That is just amazing. I agree with Nina that looks like a photo. It's just not fair for one person to have so much talent when I can't even walk and chew gum.

A feather fell from the sky. The hawk saw it, the deer heard it and the bear smelled it. But only the coyote did all three.

wow I thought that was a black and white photo at first. You really nailed the face and neck area of this buffalo. I wish I could do this.

Nice job - if you had not mentioned the method you used, I would have thought a BW photo as well...  Truly nice work...  you looking to sell prints of this?

Thank you John.

cactus king, thank you also.

Beaumont, I will do prints if there is enough interest, the price would be $125.00 for a 14x18 giclee print.

When I see Obama bumper sticker, I know the academic standard has lowered!
