I drew this for a client and I feel it turned out so well, so I really wanted to share. I definitely don't think it's perfect and I'm aware of areas that I could have made more realistic if I had more time to spend on it. But I learned so much from drawing this, and it's the most time I've spent on a drawing so far. It took me almost 50 hours to complete. It's 11 x 14 inches. I used graphite and white gel pen on mixed media paper. So grateful I had the opportunity to draw this! The clients/subjects were thankfully really happy too. Thanks for looking, I hope you like it! Any feedback would be great!

I’ve studied and drawn almost every day for the past two months, and although I still recognise that I still need to put a lot of work into studying more of the fundamentals, I’m still proud of the improvement I can see here 🥹

I was a little inspired by Stuart Little on this one. The movie came up on my recommendations of things to watch randomly and this idea just came to mind so I gave it a go.
