Dougalis Wildlifeart-Life studies-Portraits

I had an unusual portrait session for me two days ago, with our model posing for 2, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mintutes. I use to be quick when working outdoors but I don`t have to look at the clock in these case. Attached,the images I managed to get within 2 hours in total.Many thanks to Andreas Skrzypnik for organizing this event!

For those who have been born and grew up in the 1970`s like me, the "Grizzly Adams" TV show, has opened my childish mind to a magical world and made me dreaming of living in the wild..It has influenced the way I`m looking at living creatures ever since..Attached a drawing of the main characters Grizzly Adams, "Mad Jack, and bear "Ben", I did today using a Sepia finelinesr and it is based on video

After weeks of snowfalls, stormy winds and darkness the sun is back! It was a sunny but a very cold day today, with temperatures below and around zero.. At least there was no wind at all, such a peaceful feeling! I couldn´t miss the chance to go back to the Park to look after the Owls. I saw at least four and managed to sketch two of them. On my way back to the car I spotted in the small half-frozen lake in the front of the Palace among many Tufted & Pochard ducks, a Ferruginus duck, a real rarity for Germany...

One more attempt to copy the self-portrait of Albrecht Dürer on location (Old masters gallery -Munich). I used various ballpoint pens, fineliners and Pitt pens to sketch it.
