Art Student Wants to Draw a Few Hams!!

[zzbop]

Hey guys! A fellow forum-er recently posted some artwork that inspired me and I'd LOVE to draw someone's hammy! Please send a picture with your request and let me know if you want realism, stylized, or pixelated. I will post the artwork at least by this weekend (although it will be Christmas, I'll try my best).

If this is as fun as I hope, maybe I can try it more often and post more lovely hammy portraits

Have a look at the pics on our Hammies thread Pippin and pick one to have a go at. Let your imagination go with it your choice.

Sweet, thanks! Pippin is so flipping cute and there are so many pictures!! I picked an older one I believe, but I liked all the ones that I saw

Haha, my imagination is very colorful today. I drew a more stylistic Pippin this time around (also, this time, very alike to the reference image). It's not perfect but I hope you like it!

Wow that is very different, that Pic you chose is quite an early one of Pip, I have just got a new DSLR Canon 7D makes my old 40D look like a box brownie..!

Yeah my natural art style is very bright and almost minimalistic at times. I did choose an early image but I'd like to do a more recent one as well; you have so many great photos of Pippin! Very photogenic little hammy, haha

I wish I could draw but I can't so I photograph instead, my favorite medium is B&W I loved that when I used to shoot film stock....

I have posted a couple of Pip from tonight's trial session with the new 7D they are a lot more detailed.

I would love if you could draw a picture of Amber Realistic would be nice but whatever you want to do is fine. Choose whichever picture you want Thanks a lot <3

I tried to do a realism portrait of Amber, but I'd say a more stylistic approach managed to slip in a bit (and some extra colors, haha!). Also, since "photo-realism" takes such a long time no matter what I'm drawing, I decided to make things a little faster by finishing off with more of a sketchy look. It's not perfect but I hope you like it; Amber is very fun to sketch and paint!
