Haven't posted anything creative for such a long time now, having a bit of a break from needle felting (for those of you that remember!) & started doing a bit of digital artwork for the first time in years.
Just finished my first hamster drawing, my beautiful boy Zeki, so I thought I'd share it here.

cypher, are you saying this picture is a drawing?! I looked at what i thought was a photo and wondered where the drawing was!

Thank you all so much :)
Definitely not a photo lol! I spent a whole day (including coffee breaks of course) just drawing fur!

BethandLil I’m using Procreate & apple pencil on my iPad, I used to use Painter & wacom tablet but my computer is well into it’s retirement years so I thought I’d give this a go & really like it.

Fabulous! The attention to detail on the fur really paid off :-D

Do you have an arts background?

Wow, cypher! Yes I remember the needle felting well! But this is something else. Like the others I thought it was a photo until I realised that it was the only post and nothing else.
A labour of love for precious Zeki

Thank you Coco, it was a labour of love :)

Thanks BethandLil, yes I do, I have a degree in fine art though that was long before digital was even dreamt of & I used to paint in oils!

Amazing. I also thought it was a photo but now I know and look at it, it has much more depth than a photo somehow. Wish I could draw lol. Very talented.

Thought I'd have a go at a European ham, I'd love to see one but I think this is about as close as I'll get! :)

Look at that beauty, takes me back to that tv clip of a European ham in a graveyard in Vienna getting stuck (temporarily I hasten to add) in a candle holder he was trying to eat from.
Great work cypher!

Thank you Coco & Flowerfairy.
It was that clip that did it Coco, I saw another on tv recently & then just had to go back & watch the original bbc one again (& again a few times lol!) then I just had to have a go :D

I did wonder if that had been the source of your inspiration, cypher! After all, we don’t get to see them very often on film.

Another awesome drawing Cypher, you are very talented. One of my favourite # to follow on instagram is #hamsterart I see some awesome hamster art on there.

Shame we don’t see more of them isn’t it Coco!

Thanks Luna, I didn’t think of that hashtag for some reason, there is some nice work there, I’ll have to remember next time!
