Elsie today part 4

Elsie says "MOOOOOO-rning!" as we get started on today. No Elsie didn't need milking. She's enjoying the bright sunny gorgeous day while sitting on the kitchen table.

Keep your pencil sharp.

To start I am using a #4 pencil to increase the shaded area. In the photograph her picture was taken on a sunshiney day so there are a lot of different tonal areas on her. I see by this posting her left ear looks natural with the different shades even though the light source is coming from the right, that right ear doesn't look as natural. But she is a "work in progress" so I'm not to concerned. I am happy with the shading under her chin on the left side it is appearing to have more of a "hair" texture to it along with her belly shading with the natural dimples. I love her nose and it feels as though I can pet her. I know she is enjoying all this attention. Woops! Molly the goat outside is getting jealous.

Hope you follow along today. I would love to hear your feelings about Elsie.
