alligator drawing



Above, my lovely references. I highly recommend buying up toys and maintaining a macabre collection of nature items from your wanderings. Let drawing be your excuse, it has been mine and so it has fed my dark eclectic collections for years.




Tools: powdered graphite and water applied to bristol board. For super darks i like to use a gray ink. The pink pearl eraser here is my prized possession and goes with me always - like a lucky rock. Im hopeless, but this eraser is magical and can be cut into any shape you need.

Entertainment: A history nerd's best friend, Philippa Gregory on Cd. addictive!





and so. the sketch.





not sure what to do next... i think this also shows how much i need to keep up with a sketchbook.
