I did some sketches of animals as a way of studying their shading and the fur. I took some photo references to use to practice with a pencil and eraser without the use of a blend pencil to sketch these animals. I felt that these were just practices, (some area's are proportionally off) so I woulden't say they really deserve to be on the front page, but they are pretty cool!
Note: each picture took approx 2 hours to complete.
