Otter Sketch Complete by Tigress

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 11:24:07 -0000

This was a speed sketch/coloring. So I started with a ball point pen sketch (found here: Link), trying to define as little of the figure as possible with line/outline, which I feel I could have done better. I also had the goal of trying to use white sparingly. I failed. I got out of control, went into one of my obsessive trances and lost sight of the forest for the trees. I tried to fix it, but short of pulling out paint, I was stuck. pencils and marker don't go over that white well. Another goal was to draw cute. =) I think he turned out cute. And the real reason I did this was because I wanted a chance to try out all my new supplies! Done on Canson Pen and Marker paper (absolutely the BEST marker paper I have ever used to date)

Handsome Cock by Tigress

I went to the county fair a little while ago. When I did on the second day, I took my camera and made sure to take pics of some of the cool critters. I had a certain miss Java in mind when I shot this handsome guy. Java's art is this wicked loose expressive work that really motivates me. So this was kinda inspired by and dedicated to her. Anyways, it was an hour long speed paint.

Red Fox by Tigress

I wanted to try the Crayola markers I had. An artist's skill should be judged by precision, not precise tools. Sadly, I ask you not judge me too strongly by this example. X)

Eye Sketch by Tigress

A subtle mix. Human. Beast. But the soul speaks through the eyes and that has no such classification.

TigerWolf by Tigress

A long past venture that I'm still rather fond of. It has personal meaning so I won't speak too deeply on it here. I find it ironic that the tiger obviously got more attention here.
