More work done for my animal drawing course: lions! I'm going to be doing a lot of lions at some point. And tigers. I did two skulls here from different angles to get a better idea of the structure.

The lion head source is from Hotnstock of Deviant Art and the skulls are from the amazingly awesome Bone Clones, where I would spend too much money if I had too much money and too much space. I hate telling myself that I don't actually need a full-size resin horse skeleton. It's hard. Really hard.

Today, dogs!

The skull reference photo is from Will's Skull Page
The dog portrait is based on a photo by Jaded-Night on Deviant Art.

Next up in the animal drawing course using photo reference... Cows!

The skull photo is by Jeidoll:

The cow is by Casey in Deviant Art's stock photos.

I'm doing another CG Workshops course called Mastering Animals. Learning to draw animals means studying their structure, so that means drawing heads and skulls from photo reference. I'm also enjoying the digital painting! And fur brushes. Fur brushes are nifty.

I wanted a horse head and skull in a similar orientation, so I found the horse above on this site: Horse drinks beer to cure colic. (Heheheh)

 The skull reference on the left is by CitronVertStock.
