Life is keeping me pretty occupied right now and for one reason or another I don't have as much time to spend on steemit but I wanted to make a quick post to share some of the pencil drawings I have done lately and also to say that I hope to be back posting regularly in a week or so.
As you can no doubt see, I am still struggling with getting the hair and hands right but I am still very pleased with the progress I have made since I started drawing again about 6 months ago. :)
This is also the first dog I have ever drawn so I'm pretty happy with how that has turned out! :)
Please let me know what you think.
These are all my own drawings and are exclusive to steemit. They won't be found anywhere else online.
Hope everyone is having an excellent day!!

You've caught the character of the subjects and very nice balance of light and shadow.
:) thanks for the lovely compliment @reddust. I'm very happy with what I am achieving at the moment but know there is so much more I can do. I have a way to go before I am in your league my friend! :)
Wow! These are amazing. So much detail. My favorites are the first and the last. Great job. Looking forward to seeing more :)
Thank you so much @jaymorebeet. As I said in the post, I hope to be back pretty soon with #ltdwf but just need to sort a few things out first so hope you will join in again when we start up again.:)
Hope you're doing well!
Wow, wonderful drawings @tonyr!😱
Hope everything is going well my friend.
See u soon!
Thank you so much @w0olf! I will be back in about a week with m ore time on my hands so I will be in touch soon about the contest. I'm really sorry to have to postpone it at the last minute like that but I have a few things going on right now and wasn't sure how much time I would have to respond to the entries and such.
Hope you are doing well too buddy!! Definitely speak soon! :)
Yeah doing very well atm! Thank you!
I'm testing my new photography equipment :)
There will soon come some nice photography posts from my side! ;)
Wish u the best, and speak soon buddy!
nice capture of facial expressions, those don't look like easy subjects to draw. Hair has always been difficult for me in pencil, I'll do everything I can to not draw the hair, except for the shadowed parts. I can't get the pencil sharp enough to draw hairs anyway!
Thanks a lot @therealpaul. I've watched a few youtube videos and it seems so simple in theory but in practice it is a little more difficult to get right. It takes a lot of something which I possess only in limited amounts....patience. :(
Hope your day is going well buddy!
I think my patience is limited too, but if I'm doing something that I enjoy, I don't really need patience, I'm busy!
These are great, Tony. Though, they make me wonder. When are you gonna draw Vito??
Cheers bro. Probably after I draw Meysa. :)
Vito is about eleven times more gorgeous than Mhysa, so I am just going to assume that you're joking.
That may well be so but since Luke asked me first it wouldn't really be right of me to do Vito first now would it?
He's a little fucker. Lol.
The doggy looks adorable! I think the people look so real it's kind of creepy >.> like they're going to come out of the picture. I really like how you drew the dog's eyes; the eyes look very moist and the tongue in contrast looks very dry (it looks like the dog is panting).
Thanks a lot @omega-not. :) Thats a nice little boost for my confidence.:)
Seems like dog came out of poster
Thank you @dine77.
Have a great day my friend!
Those are awesome piece of art! I like it. And its neatly done as well. I like the eyes of the pug its really shining and those two kids are cute
Thanks @errymil. I have a terrible camera and am a terrible photographer. Not sure if that helps or hinders the look of the pictures. :)
Thanks for the lovely compliment and I hope to be back asap with #ltdwf.
Have a wonderful day my friend!! :)

These are very wonderful portraits @tonyr! I think you have captured the very emotions that your subjects have... i love the way the dog looks back at me. 😊
thank you very much @arrliinn. You are very kind my friend! :)
Hope you are doing well!
Much admiration to wonderful artists as you...
We're doing great, @tonyr, thanks!
Wow you are very talented. I wish I could draw, but I really don't have the eye for it.
Keep it up.
Thanks @coffehub. I actually run s little contest on steemit called Learn To Draw With Friends!
You might wanr to check i5 out. Its desigbed for people just like you. ;) #ltdwf.
Have a great day and tganks again. :)
They are all good, but the dog one is brilliant as it really captures the devilment and cuteness of the dog :-)
Cheers mate. I really like the dog too. Chuffed for my first go. :)
Great job on your art, keep it up.
Thank you @crazydaze!
Have a great day my friend!

Didn't look like you struggled with the hair and the hands! These are superb! I especially love the dog, and how you drew his eyes. 💕 More of drawings like these soon? 😊
That really is a compliment coming from you @erangvee! Thank you so much! :)
I hope to post more drawings but finding the time is difficult right now. Plus, it feels a bit strange posting my own drawings when I'm running a drawing contest. :(
Hope all is well with you my friend and that you are having a fabulous day whatever you are doing! :)
I guess "finding the time" really is one common denominator for many people; it's getting difficult for me, too. Plus, I don't think posting your drawings would be weird! 😊 In fact, I think it would serve as good motivation for the contest entrants to do well - with the accompanying thought that the host is an awesome artist himself. 👍😁
Thank you, have a great day, too! 😊
Thanks @erangvee. Im OK at drawing portraits but everything else is a struggle which is part of the reason I started the contest, to help myself improve. :)
Im going to hoprfully find tim3 to enter the steemgigs contest by @deveerei, draw a DC Superhero. That looks like fun.:)
Wonderful drawings and a lot of detail @tonyr! Hope everything is going alright my friend. Take your time and I look forward to your future posts. Have an awesome day!
Thank you so much @apprentice001! You are very kind my friend!
You have an awesome day also buddy!
Excellent drawings
Thank you @pluemacher. Have a good niggt my friend!
