"Great Expectations"

I seem to draw fawns and deer like this every once in awhile.

Just thinking of how wonderful it feels when you first join and are a fawn... excited about everything and wanting to explore.

A really nostalgic piece, it

A really nostalgic piece, it reminded me of my fawnhood as well, especially Manda's very first day in the Forest.

I was in the Playground area, and the first adult deer I ever saw was one with DotD pelt, real deer mask and peacock antlers. I still remember how the sight of it made me think of something that escaped from Egypt, I don't know why though.

But got to agree with Fly, it felt amazing to be accepted by the adults and just run and moo all day - I couldn't even understand why everyone was sitting or sleeping the whole time, haha.

Thanks so much for bringing all these fond memories back.

This rally is adorable! You

This rally is adorable! Smiling You obviously don't use paper and pencil do you? What do you use to make it so cute?
My fawn was really just choking up flowers for adults every second. Smiling

Aww, hello pretty! *o* It

Aww, hello pretty! *o* It reminds of a goofier, younger Moss a bit Eye

Thirding (it'sathing) what the others have said. Even though 'my' fawnhood ended relatively recently, I still find that I miss that original excitement and enthusiasm about... well, everything! Flowers? Instant adrenaline rush! Flowers of a different colour? Oh my God those come in purple too! O_O The first deer I saw, or at least noticed, was an owl-pelted one with peacock antlers. Suffice to say there were more than a few minutes of awed staring before I loped off, fearing I'd intrude xD Ah, the good old days...

Thank you, everyone. I am

Thank you, everyone. I am glad this evoked some good memories. <3

@SD - I use Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 6.2.6 on my tablet PC to draw these. Currently the PC is a Surface Pro 2, but hopefully very shortly I will be upgrading to a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga. You can do these just as easily on a drawing tablet, though. Smiling
