Description
I've decided to challenge myself with drawing very fast, small sketches in pen. It's an exercise I've heard of some artists/animators doing, in order to simplify and or aim to find the shapes/essence of the subject being drawn. So I've decided to do so, and take on drawing the Thylacine, seeing as I am a tad rusty, and want to work on my anatomy for them anyways. The result? 2 pages of little inks of thylacines! This was one of my favorites, and admittedly I must say I worked on it longer than most of the other little sketches. Mainly because I just loved the pose, and wanted to keep adding detail, definition, and shading to it.So yeah, I may show off some of the other sketches, I don't know.
The Thylacine was done in pen (using this pen [link] ) on white copy paper. Textures/effects added in photoshop. And the Font "Thylacine" is actually done by hand and scanned, just like the sketch. So it is not a downloadable font, sorry :
Done whilst watching these videos, as well as monsterquest on netflix. The monsterquest episode is called "Isle of the lost Tiger".... and is full of "ohh that's wrong! why did you say that! ffff stupid ><" moments for those that love and research the Thylacine..... fair warning XD

It's funny that until I was 14, I always did my sketches in pen, and everybody kept saying it's a bad thing.
Now, I can barely do a sketch without my eraser :/

LOL aww.
I find it a challenge to do art in pen, it makes you want to make it even more perfect, knowing that you cannot erase. It's a good practice.

Your thylacine drawings are always inspiring to me, even just the sketches. <3

For me, the most interesting fact about thylacines is that they extincted only a "few years" ago. I mean, the most extincted animals we know lived at least thousands of years ago. So some people who are still living today, lived to see the last thlacine die. And they couldn't even help to save this species. Or maybe didn't want to? I don't know, I haven't looked into that subject that much. But it's a shame. And deep inside, I hope that there's still living one or two examples in the Jungle of australia. I mean, who knows? Lately they found a whole new species of a spider, wich wasn't very small, so it's a little miracle that it haven't been found earlier. Plus a huge area of jungle and especially the sea aren't explored yet. So who know's if there aren't species we don't know yet/thought to be extincted though they aren't...

8D It is! and it's soo fast paced and refreshing! Wakes up an artist that's in a sort of an artblock.

Tt actually really helps me with anatomy. A LOT. Because I don't spend enormous amounts of time on how something curves or etc I focus on shapes then go in later if I want to.
It's made me feel really good about my art where as before I was a very sour person over my work thus is why I never post. But I'm growing as an artist and a person. I'm really enjoying simple things like this where as before all I had was frustration.
