Description Yes, finally, a new drawing!

This is one of the first animals I have ever drawn, so it's not great, but I plan to draw alot more in the future because it was alot of fun.

This didn't take long at all, only about 10 hours, I guess. Drawn with the usual school pencil.

Thank you. I guess it does kind of look like a painting! I just got bit tired of plain boxy edges, so I decided to blend them into the paper.

wow! great job!! So was the water hard to do?

MindlessCreativity In reply to Drako08 [2007-09-04 16:58:34 +0000 UTC]

The water I think was the hardest part. I kept trying different ways to make it look real, but most of them failed. I ended up just drawing gray all over the paper and then darkening where it should be dark and erasing for the light parts, it took forever to get it to look right like that. But it was really fun.

geez. I figured it wouldn't be easy. Did you try using a refrence at all. I know i personally don't like to use refrences, but with something that hard, i would have. But yeah, you pulled it off, so kudos to you for sticking with it.

I hardly ever don't use references anymore, it's kind of more fun in my opinion to use a reference picture...for some reason. So yeah, the reference account I used is in the 'artist's comments' thing, and the reference picture is on that account. This still was probably one of the hardest things I have drawn, even with the picture.

thank you. I have only drawn a zebra other than this, and that's really easy because they are already black and white.
