Customer requested a drawing of the deer that he shot and the deer that his wife shot, I agreed and commenced to work.  I took some pictures of the antlers for each deer and went through my extensive reference photos for an idea, this is what I came up with.

It's not the best picture but it will get better, I promise. I hope you like it.



Thanks for lookin'--Chad

Bonhed, If it's not too personal of a question, what are you charging for something like that? I've been toying with the ideal of having something like that done with my largest mulie, and from what I see so far, it appears that you have the talent to pull it off. I hope that you continue posting pictures of this as it moves toward completion.

Thanks guys, both of these bucks came from Wyoming in 2007.  The big one B&C score is 218 7/8 I believe, and the other one is just an average buck.

Another update, I am hoping that I will be able to finish the bigger deer tomorrow, because I am about to go on 14 straight 12hr days at my 'real' job and wont have a lot of time to work on it.  Hope you like it, and check back often.




Thanks for looking, --Chad.

Hey Chad, there are several free online art galleries such as http://www.deviantart.com where you can post your work into a nice looking gallery as easily as sending an email attachment.  As you might expect Deviant Art has mostly teenagers on it but there is some very nice professional work on there too, and it's free so there's no need to pay for design service.  Something like that might work for you.

Chad - What's your "real" job?

Wow, looks like you really know how to get a lot of vibrancy and life out of pencil!!  It's not done, but I can tell it's going to come out beautiful, I can't wait to see it done.  I love seeing your works in progress... thanks!!
