Friendly Neighborhood Spider.

Work was extremely boring today, but it did give me time to sketch out a spider. No idea what type, but would not like to find this guy in bed. Also, I came across this link a while back of amazing macro bug photography and found it really inspiring. http://www.thomasshahan.com/#photos  

CHALLENGE! March, week 3: Slug/Snail

Ryan Krason: Siau Island Tarsier

Couple weeks late, but as they say: "Hurry up and get your sh*t together." Planning on starting the next challenge tonight.

Jess Morris: Beetle

I did a 2hr paint on a Rhino Beetle I drew for that challenge from a couple years ago. SO out of practice... feels so foreign.

CHALLENGE! March, week 2: Spider

Jared: Gorilla / Squirrel Monkey

Ive been really bad lately with keeping up on the challenges :(  So i made a bigger effort to do some sketches while i was working on some other character designs. Ive been playing around with 30s rubber hose style and have been looking alot at McBess's work for reference. http://mcbess.com/illus.html  defiantly check out this stuff if you have not seen it before :)

Rhino Beetle

Here's a quick little rhino beetle I had time to draw this morning in-between bouts of a cranky 2 month old.

March, week 1: Beetle

It's insect month! Starting off with the beetle (any kind)...

CHALLENGE! February, week 4: Squirrel Monkey

Ryan Krason: Gorilla Study

I really enjoyed working on this piece. It's been very helpful with fine tuning hair definition.

Gregory Naud : Gorilla

Hi all,

Here are a few Gorilla sketches. They're so interesting to draw!

CHALLENGE! February, week 3: Gorilla

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT...

I know, I know, you weren't looking for valentines, but too bad.  Here's a little love for all of you even though it is a bit late.

Ryan Krason: Chimpanzee Study

Used today's lunch break to complete last weeks challenge. Managed to go a little late and found a nice quiet corner to hunker down in :)

CHALLENGE! February, week 2: Siau Island Tarsier

CHALLENGE! February, week 1: Chimpanzee

It's Primate Month!

Ryan Krason: Warthog

Got a little nostalgic on this one and went with a rendition of Bebop from TMNT. Can't wait for the rhino challenge in October to complete the set... though I may not be able to wait until then :)

Jess Morris: Elk

A super quick speed painting over lunch today. I hope I have time to give it a real pass! ...antlers are hard to draw!

CHALLENGE! January, week 5: Pig/Warthog

Elk Study

Not quite finished but it's a start.

BUFFALO BANTER

It's often thought that Buffalo are stoic.  Maybe, but I tend to think they simply see themselves above the fray and just daydream a lot.

Not sure what these two are talking about, but think it has to do with their one time appearance on the nickel coin...probably debating which was really heads and which tails.

Camel, Goat & Cow

A Camel, a Goat & a Cow.  Two in crayon (while being moo'ed at :) and one in Charcoal.

CHALLENGE! January, week 4: Elk

Buffalo Study

Broke out the fancy pencils for this weeks challenge. It's not too often that I use more than one pencil for a drawing, but to get the contrast of the fur it was a must. I'm pretty happy with the results so I'll definitely keep those "other pencils" around for future challenges.

CAMEL LEADING...

Little late on my camel drawing, but here it is. Also, just started playing around with some Prismacolor markers. Not too sure just how to go about using them. I guess i'm trying to use them more like water colors. Laying down a base and then just layering in. BUT any info or advice on how to use these markers would be awesome. Thanks!

Here are some buffalo studies and one illustration (did not have time to color it)

CHALLENGE! January, week 3: Buffalo

January, week 2: Camel

Billy Goat Finished

so here is the colour version, i hope to whip up my camel some time today

colour is not my best subject but this year want to colour a lot of my drawings

not sure if i should post here or edit my original post?

At the moment its snowing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and temperature is pretty cold, its around 0 Celsius, so I did enjoy drawing this illustration with all of these worm colors. Best regards and see you around.

Camel Study

This weeks challenge was brought to you by two glasses of scotch and some sultry jazz fronted by Eartha Kit. Oh yeah, and a more than necessary plethora of camel toe images provided by Google.

Hey whats up people. Happy New Year and best wishes for all of you all around the world.
Here are some of the sketchbook pages I have don on subject of a GOAT.
I love to draw animals so I guess I will be around :)

CHALLENGE! January, week 2: Camel

Mr. Ram's Different Occupations

Hi. Well, here are some rams holding down different jobs. First one being a conqueror of a small country. Second, a washer/dryer salesmen and a bounty hunter. I've also been watching a lot of Star Wars over the holidays so I think thats where some of this comes from. :)

CHALLENGE! January, week 1: Goat/Ram

 

work in progress

so since I started doing wushu it made sense to do a billy goat wushu master showing his goat palm technique

Goat Head

I was really trying to think of something comical that I could create in a cartoon but failed to find inspiration for such a drawing, so here's just the start to a head shot.
