Werewolf

When I’m drawing, I like to vary my topic, so that I can practice drawing different subjects. If I am in between working on projects for other people, I like to draw pictures for my family. This next piece was at the request of my husband, who is a huge fan of the film “American Werewolf in London”, and I must admit, I love the film too. After going through various stills of the film, it was decided that the picture that he wanted to me to draw was when the main character, David, was changing into a werewolf for the very first time. This picture captures his transition:

The picture took a week to complete and was drawn on Strathmore Bristol vellum using Derwent Graphite 2H, HB, 2B and 6B pencils. The fur was a particular challenge to complete, but I really enjoyed doing it, and I must admit, out of all of the pictures I have drawn in the past year, this is one of my favourites. It was quite a technical piece of work and I am really pleased with the standard in which I have drawn it. My husband is also really pleased with it, and is currently looking for a frame so that he can hang it on the wall.
