Echidna/cougar cross.

And here I thought it was going to be the mythological Mother of Monsters, but, y'know, as an older woman.

Do old snakes look any different?

I'd imagine so. Dimmed scales and such.

Also, cuuuute bird!

Echidna wasn't a snake.

In Greek mythology, half woman half snake.

In Greek mythology, half woman half snake.

Half snake is not all snake. Also at least some depictions of her give her wings and two tails, neither of which are features natural to any snakes I know of. Or women for that matter.

True, but would the half snake bit look any different with age?

[TheCountAlucard]

Depends on the kind of snake - for instance, the older a rattlesnake gets, the larger its rattle gets (the rattle is actually made of the last little bit of skin from its molts - this is why a baby rattlesnake is considered particularly dangerous - it has never molted, so it's got no rattle, so its warning will go unheard). I imagine other snakes have signs of their age, but I'm no herpetologist.

Okay, I don't know what that second picture is, but that first one is actually really quite cool!

['Neath the Moon]

Looks to me like the second is a griffon and baby with a quail front rather than an eagle. Also, I definitely agree about the first!

Yes, a quail griffon.

Waaaait what?

I rather despise the first one myself. It's a decent idea, yes, but it needs more depth, background, color, etc.

Hm.

Well yes, obviously. It does need all those, but it still manages to be good! Better then anything I can draw anyway

Well, thank you.

And you could fix that!

[Cuthalion]

Gah, sorry for the wait, but I'm back for a while now, apart from a little bit at the end of August.

This is just the stuff in my main sketchbook, other things will wait a bit.


I was rather disappointed that zero of three people who ought to know guessed the wrong kind of large cat.

Those are some good pictures. I've noticed you're far better at drawing animals then people.

Also that owl gives no ****s oh my god hahahaha

['Neath the Moon]

181: I want to say that's a cheetah, based on the black stripe coming down from the eye. The front left leg looks like it's set too low, although it's hard to tell what with the spots.

I like the colored ones, particularly the sleeping kitty. The owl turned out pretty well too.

So have I. Thus you are hopefully going to get a larger percentage of bad drawings than the last few have been.

I see what you mean.

FINALLY

thank you

Yes, the colored ones... I wasn't confident about using watercolor in the sketchbook, but it didn't turn out too badly.

[AddZable]

More watercolour. No questions, just do it. Do it NOW. Please?

['Neath the Moon]

This I second.

[Cuthalion]

Very well.

This was the beginning of art week. The assignment was to do quick sketches with pen or pencil and return to the house and watercolour them in.

And I decided to start practicing portraits. I was intending this to be a picture of a brother as a child, but somehow the drawing reminds me almost more of a different brother.

You have clearly developed with shading.

[StabbityRabbit]

I was comparing the pictures on the first page of this thread to now, and I can see a lot of progress. It's almost staggering to think someone could improve so much in that period of time.

Keep up the good work Cuthalion.

[LaZodiac]

I actually kind of like the derp horse. He's silly. But seriously holy crap this entire batch of pictures look really good, and makes me wish I had a scanner to maybe try practicing drawing as well even though I'm not very good in the slightest

What I mean is you make me jealous and it's awesome!

It is really nice. Even better to see this happening to me. Other people, not quite the same. You see it but don't quite get to appreciate it as much.

Thanks.

[StabbityRabbit]

The first portrait has kind of odd proportions. The ears should be a little further up, and the mouth a little further to the side. Beyond that a very solid portrait.

The second portrait is also very nice.

How did you get so good at drawing animals? I can almost see the creature run to its food bowl.

As a side note I'm posting this my PS4, and I have say it's so very,very slow. I can't complain too loudly though as it is no longer just a 400 dollar netflix machine.
