Just a quicklet! Some little artings.
I forget if I already posted this one, but anyway. I did it a while ago, just never finished inking it - working on THAT at the moment, provided I can get the anatomy to my satisfaction.
Come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough...

And the waterbuck. Yay feet.

Still working on inking this one - I may revise the feet (AGAIN) as the front feet are looking a bit clunky - hard to photo-ref something that doesn't exist except as a composite of other animals). Planning on using my brand spanking new "Graphitint" pencils to colour it, as they're wicked-cool and exciting and I want to play with them, woo.
Done! *runs off to work*
Teabreak edit: Planning on putting a kind of "materials tutorial" up on my site - as in, the sort of "which are good materials to buy", the pros and cons of the various media, markers, pencils etc type thing. Would anyone find that vaguely useful? As I have plenty of the various materials AT home, I could probably get some kind of halfway useful comparison of the types up, especially since when *I* started using markers, *I* didn't realise how much they were apt to bleed, so it stands to reason not everyone ELSE will either. (Actually, I'm going to write the "tutorial" anyway, I just wondered if anyone would have anything in particular they'd want to see.) Although in my OMG MAKE ROOM FOR ART mega box-buying session the other day I realised just how MANY different materials I had - 4 brands of markers (Prismacolours, extortionately imported from the USA, and a few each of Trias, Promarkers (read: cheap Trias) and Copics), PITT india ink pens, ZIG double-ended brushpens, lePlume II pens, wax pencils (various brands), watercolour pencils, ink pencils, watersoluble graphite pencils, drawing inks, ink-pads, watercolours, acrylics, gouache, and beads. And that's probably not all of it. See why I have nowhere to work, now? :P Keaalu = magpie.
