There are two subjects I don't enjoy drawing - animals and self portraits. Judging by the hair, I must have done this around about 1981. It makes me cringe just thinking about it. This is my one and only!
This is a ring-tailed lemur drawn around the time I visited Madagascar in 1988. It turned out better than I thought although I obviously didn't enjoy it enough to finish it! I probably avoid drawing animals because I don't like drawing hair.

Both of these look so well-done to me. it's interesting how we tend to dislike our own work! The girl looks real, with a real expression on her face. The lemur's fur is soft and furry. And it doesn't matter that it's unfinished - I've seen plenty of drawings in galleries that just taper off romantically like this! (Nancy Gandhi from EDM - your 'neighbour' in Chennai, India)
