Black Rhinoceros

Again, another past Drawaholics challenge. I'm a sucker for rhinos so naturally I had to do this one. On an unrelated note, I've taken to sketching with pens recently and I've gotta say... I love it!!! No more wasting time with trivial things like erasing mistakes. In fact, using ink this past week has shown me that if you work at it long enough, covering up mistakes is quite easy. They actually lend themselves to the shading and texture that come later on. 

The Walrus is Quite the Distinguished Gentleman

I've been MIA from the Drawaholics blog I participate in but managed to find a little time during my lunch break to put this piece together. I'm not sure if the origins of a walrus wearing a top hat and monocle began from Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland, but I dare say that a walrus wearing a top hat and monocle looks very distinguished indeed.

 

Late Night Sketching with the Fancy Pens

The effects of cranking up the tunes, switching off the tube and letting the sounds of Rock n' Roll command ones creative juices. I think the idea just evolved from my subconscious thoughts of getting back into making music... See what I did there? 

Gorilla Study

Recently put together this sketch on my lunch break then added the final touches later that night. I find myself getting more comfortable with hair definition given the last couple months of constant sketching.
