So I joined Species_X_Change on FA, they have biweekly round where you are assigned a certain species to draw your character as. This looks a very exciting and fun club and I look forward to joining future rounds. This one was for round 23 and the theme was aquatic mammals, I got assigned the Narwhal! Cool!



The Narwhal horn: The horn is actually a tusk, an incisor tooth that projects from the left side of the upper jaw in a leftward spiral helix. It is rare for females to have them but they do sometimes.

More experimenting with markers.




So I finally broke out the colored markers I bought at the beginning of the year, a set of 48 prismacolor markers on sale at Michaels. I’ve dallied with them some, but I was determined to really create something decent with them.

I pulled out the Moleskine sketch book and doodled a picture of Inga, inked it with micron pens then started coloring it with the colored markers. It turned out horrible. But I learned a lot with this mistake. So I started again. Another picture of Inga, nothing fancy, inked it with microns and colored again.

Inga. Again. Photos look better than the scan.


A Dromaeosaur.

Materials used: large moleskine sketchbook, micron pens, prismacolor markers and some white acrylic paint for the highlights.

I’m learning a lot with these and really enjoying the medium.

Had a new idea for drawing her tack. Guess it’s not really THAT different. Added some jewels to her bridle and the trilobite pendant to the chest strap.

Spent over 4 hours on this linework.
