This one took me a minute, I haven't produced art much the last few weeks. My boyfriend's graduation is coming up shortly so I maybe be "silent" on here from the 16-22nd of this month. :) but I'll return with more art! I still plan to finish deercember, since I want to get the full span of learning deer anatomy the best I can.
Also, I did use reference for this - I copied the pose, however it was experimental for me in learning fur direction and length, ect.. it was a fun learning piece for me that only got tedious for a little bit. Also, those are all pencil strokes.. I did not smudge any of this piece at all. You can see the photo I referenced below:

*edit. dammit I forgot the whiskers (it's always the whiskers)
