Love it Richard! Good variety in the heads of the sheep....looking different ways.....and the sheep in the foreground with more head detail. Well planned out.

Agree about sheep looking different ways. Comments always appreciated.

Fabulous! I like the order of how the sheep are flocked together with different poses for their black heads and especially the one in front showing the white around its mouth and nasal cavity,,,,the flock in the background showing distance and a straight forward view. Excellent pen and ink with brush feature Richard!

Thanks for your very observant comments Angela, appreciated. Think I will do the final version against a Yorks Dales background.

Blackface sheep, of course. This well formed composition would frame up very well.

A 45 minute "rough" sketch for a Gathering of Sheep. Wondered whether to colour the sheep but think this monochrome "stands" out enough when I do it again in the same style. A4 Cartridge Paper. Black Pen & Brush Pen.
