Maya
2009. Age 22
This. took. hours…
Drawn on smooth bristol board.
My first attempt of “Maya” was complete in Feburary 2009, however I was not happy with the finished piece so decided to get back to the drawing board… literally. I poured everything into this effort so I really hope it shows. There’s a lot of detail that can’t be seen unless zoomed in – for example each ear has multiple layers of hair strands, each one casting their own shadow. I really tried to push myself with this picture and I am happy with the finished result. I hope you like it too :-)

This is amazing. One of the major things that I noticed that always stands out about your work Adam is the detail. Everytime I view a piece of your work I truly appreciate how much effort and work you put into them. This piece is so beautifully done. Great job! : )

Such a beautiful drawing, she looks so soft…you can see the love in her eyes. :)
Adam Stone replied
Thank you :-)
I really tried hard to create a sense of ‘softness’ in the furr so i’m pleased it shows. The eyes took a lot of time but i think those hours spent paid off, i hope so at least.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment, it really means a lot. Best regards.

The detail of the fur and the whiskers is so finely well done; and you’ve managed to bring out all the different texture; the fur; around the jaw, the leather collar with the shiny tag, and those alluring eyes; well done Adz! Oh, I can see the whiskers on the other side of the face as well!
