I hope I can be forgive another excursion into my other art field. I had essays planned, but right now I feel like loafing. Not a good idea, but it's what I'm in the mood for.
Oh well. On with the show.
Oh well. On with the show.
Our first subject is a Unicorn, and before anyone points it out, yup, that's a deer head. Pliny described one as having a deer head and I ran with the image.(Technically this isn't the full truth. According to the Unicorn entry at Wikipedia, Pliny is describing an "Indian ass". However, I first read the description in The Last Unicorn and that's where my misunderstanding stems from. Serves me right for using a novel as a source.)
Aside aside, the horn is the worst part about this picture. Too damn thick. Everything else I like. Once more, I used an picture from my How to Draw Animals book as a model. That books been real good to me.
Next we have this charming scene. A shack beneath a mammoth bridge, its inhabitant cooling his feet in the river water.I really like this one. The stick figure person is a bit too sketchy, but that's a minor gripe. It seems real peaceful.
I seldom do this sort of full scenery work, as my eye for perspective tends to be off. (It's probably off here, too, but that's neither here nor there.) I assume that with more practice I'll improve, but some of the atrocities I've committed to perfectly good paper doesn't bear thinking about.
