A sweet little Roe Deer buck! I wish I could see wild deer more, they’re notoriously elusive though. I’m aware that there are some kind of wild deer roaming about in my area of the Brecon Beacons, the farmers often talk about them in the local Facebook groups that I’m in. I’ll have to look into what kind they are so I can draw more since I enjoyed drawing this one so much.
I chose to go with a scribbled black arch for the background again, for no other reason than I think it looks striking when surrounding my sketches. I also really like the added texture it adds to the illustration!
I also experimented with creating a colour version too! I really admire artists and illustrators who are able to use colour effectively in their work, I always seem to struggle with it. I much prefer my black and white version but I’m glad I tried adding colour as an experiment.
