Ring-Tailed Lemur

Today was a frustrating day. I was supposed to be having a window replaced with patio doors. So I got up early and made sure that everything was cleared from the work space, got the dogs organised and we moved the cars around to create space on the drive.
The builder turned up twenty minutes late, not too bad you think; at least until he rang the glazier, the doors wouldn't be ready until next Tuesday. Now I'd also organised the internet guy to come and move the cable and a landscape gardener to come later in the week to sort out some decking.
All this needed to be put on hold, (the cable did get moved) which is frustrating to say the least.
It could be worse, the builder could have knocked the wall down before he found out the doors weren't made yet.

I decided it was about time I created another ACEO.

I had fun with this one using various pink, blue and purple coloured pencils to create the black fur.

Lemur continued

I'm making progress with the lemur although the right side of the face isn't quite right yet.

Lemur on Black Paper

Over the years I've taken many photographs of Lemurs. This is one of my favourites, the lemur was above me in a tree watching what I was doing and chewing a stick.

His face reminds me of a little gremlin.

You might remember I created an ACEO using this image a few months ago. I always had the intention of doing it larger.
This is coloured pencil on black Stonehenge paper, 10 x 8.
I enjoyed working an black as I work much faster, less layering and a much looser finish. The scan doesn't really show it but I used several blues, pinks and purple to create the black.
