Fantastico retrato!! Me gusta especialmente el fondo y como has resuelto la parte inferior con ese difuminado tan suelto a base de trazos verticales. Un abrazo!

I agree with Senci. It´s fantastic! Have you used the telescope at the zoo o do you make them with a naked eye?
Regards, Fran

I suppose you'll be busy with the illustration of the bird atlas. I hope soon to see new sketches here.
Best wishes,
Francisco.

Yes you've right Francisco!
There are 70 drawings to be finished up to the end of March!
Thank you all for your kind comments!
Fran: This particular bird was sitting very close to me, so I didn't need to use my scope as in the case of Golden eagle...

Thylacine or Tasmanian tiger -The adventure of a study

..The Thylacine is a legendary species which lived in Australia and Tasmania and seems that is already extinct, since there is no credible evidence that the animal still exist for decades now. Attached, my efforts to depict the animal, starting with the initial pencil drawing , and showing the process step by step to the finished pen drawing. Eventually , I noticed several mistakes on his anatomy, decided to revise the image, started a couple of watercolours, and managed to complete at least one . Forgot to mention that videos taken in Hobart zoo( Tasmania) in the 30`s of last century have been a great help while creating my image. The finished watercolour , I managed eventually to complete  

Thylacine painting

Extinct animals and birds are still among my favorites, and the Tasmanian tiger is surely one of them. I did start one more painting depicting the animal and though I was pleased with the background the tiger seemed to be very big for the size, with wrong proportions and facial expression. I decided to remove the tiger and repainted it over the background but much smaller. Surely not my best attempt but I know that I`ll be able to create a much better painting one day.
