Woodland Nymph - Fawn

Today I wanted to do some work on a sketch of a fawn to go with the little girl drawing (see post on 30 November 2015) I did last year.

After blocking in the basic shape, I started working on the head first, gradually getting the proportions correct.

Then, I gradually added more details starting with the ears, followed by the eyes and then the muzzle.

Next, I added more definition to the structure of the ear, working on the forehead followed by putting in the details of the eye orb.

This was followed by adding the nostrils to the nose and giving it the correct shape.

Below that I added the lips, chin and the jaw line to the cheek.

I put in the back of the neck running it through to the withers and then drawing in the back.

From there I completed the neck and ran it down through the chest and continued through the under belly.

Lastly, I added the shoulder, the upper part of the front leg and finally, I put in some of the spots on the body.
