Description

What's this? A proper scenery? A drawing where the animal is, compared to the usual portraits, tiny?


Yup! Despite what might be the case when looking through my gallery, I really love drawings like this - and it was certainly time to do a more elaborate project. Now, this one isn't that large - merely A4/21*30cm - but it's a good start. It was also nice to be able to draw rocks and ice again. It's weirdly relaxing.


That said - this drawing wasn't without its issues either. I had to invent parts of the waterfall due to moving around tree trunks (the lynx needed an even one to walk on), which made for a challenge, and converting the lynx's summer fur to winter fur was a challenge as well. That said, learning new stuff is always nice

List of all my tutorialsThe complete list of all the tutorials I have written/made - at least the ones still worth sharing, as some are really old at this point. It just got so hard to find them after a while, and there are so many - so here we are.
