This has sat on my drawing board for a week and I thought it was time to post it. I have been waffling back and forth about whether to lay some watercolor down on this. I think it might be cool to add a hazy watercolor wash to the background to counterpoint the white and grey of the ram. Still not sure. Since I may yet painting it, I left the pencil under drawing un-erased. Leave a comment and tell me your preference.

The Dall sheep, Ovis dalli, is a species of sheep native to northwestern North America. I flirted with the idea of mislabeling him "goat" because that seems to elicit comments.
This drawing is from a photo taken in Denali national park, Alaska like this painting of Mt McKinley. Alas, I have never been there but hope to one day.
Add the color, Charlie!! The sketch on its own is beautiful, but I think that your watercolor washes really bring these creations or your to life and give them added depth.
