☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️
Today, in honor of Irish things, we are going to draw a lucky sheep!
This is a simple little doodle drawing
You can do this for a journal page,
on a St. Patrick’s Day card, or on a gift bag
I used a couple of photos from Pixabay, a free photo source,
for inspiration
I began a pencil sketch with a simple Mary Englebreit type flower
Then I drew the sheep’s head
then the body and legs
More flowers around the neck
The face
Next I outlined over the pencil with a fine tip marker
Then I added some texture to her wooly coat
using U shapes with a .01 fine liner pen
I added peach circles to the face for her cheeks,
and colored her nose with gray
and added gray highlights to her hoofs
I colored the flowers with pink
and used 2 shades of green for the leaves,
and colored in her hoofs with black
Then I added a few shamrocks to each side
These little shamrocks are just 3 dots and a stem
Light green dots made with a Color Dot pen*
filled in the background
*there is a great set on Amazon here
