- "Got Carrots?" 1
3" x 4.75" scratchboard drawing of Daisy, a friend's donkey. The drawing's all scratched, ready for color. - "Got Carrots?" 2
First pass of watercolor on Daisy. I used a very limited palette: brown & two shades of grey (one light, one dark). Next I'll scratch selectively to bring back some lights and to blend the color. - "Got Carrots?" 3 (Final)

Handsome ram! - Deputy Gregory & Me
Deputy Gregory and me, with a print of the Ronin drawing. Deputy Gregory was Ronin's former handler. I took the reference photo for the drawing when he and Ronin were at a fund-raising event and wanted him to have a print of the drawing. - Detail of Ronin 4
Here's a close-up of one section (from the "Ronin 4" photo), so you can see the different textures that go into it. On the right section, in the middle, is the first layer of scratching. Around that is a layer of stippling that goes on top of the scratching. I need to finish stippling that center area. On the left, I've done all the stippling and then knocked it back back with light scratching. Now that area needs a little more stippling to fill in gaps and then more scratching to blend it. - Detail of Ronin 7
