Hope you like them.
This ornament was given to me by my eldest son.
It's what gave me the inspiration to draw this:
This sketch was done as a commission piece for a friend: It's the first drawing I've ever sold!!!!
I'm glad I took a photograph of it before sending it off in the post as it's one of the most difficult subjects I've ever tackled.

Superb. The turtle looks like he could walk off the page. The owl is beautiful and mysterious. Always, always photograph.

Eileen, I can't believe that turtle sketch isn't a real object. Simply astounded! What training do you have? Or did you build this amazing talent all on your own?
Wow

That turtle is really beautiful. It does look like it will just walk away when it's ready. I hope the person really loves it too.

Frank I've never been taught to draw it's just something I enjoy doing when I have the time.
Dooley you're welcome to take a copy of the tortoise sketch if you want it.
Glanda I only do a few sketches each year as it can literally take months to complete just one. I posted another sketch a while back of a tawny owl. Here it is again just for you.
Flowie, Bethie, Toni, Primsong, Julie and Wannabe thank you soooo much for your lovely comments they are very much appreciated.
