Drawing at Hyde Street Pier. Cold and windy!
Inspired by James Gurney’s lovely drawing of an ear.
SCHNOZZ.
Friend lends me her Copic markers for a few hours. This started out as a raccoon being heroic, but then she requested it become a Tanuki (hence the balls), and then the red marker shading looked kinda like blood so now this raccoon is just bailing from the scene of the crime while in a fireman hat.
As you can see I have no idea how Copics work, but once told that they were like watercolors I got a better idea.
The last 20 minute pose of the day! I’m afraid my drapery came out pretty awkward because I forgot to add it in til the last minute, but there are other parts that I think I rendered well.

Four five-minute pose studies. Trying hard to get a better grasp on lower torsos and legs, keep getting distracted by faces and upper torsos, which I find I am stronger drawing!

Loose practice gestures from minute poses.

Feels sooooo good to be drawing from a model again! Thank you thank you cheap life model sessions at the college on Saturday, I knew I moved out here for a reason. <3

Oh I forgot to put this here, but I’m testing some cartoony-style shading.
The bear’s design is already different! I needed him to look more like a bear and less like…Some circles smushed together.
Updated logo! :) More hairy, and the wee bee feet are more accurate.
‘Pedipalps’ is a funny word.
I noodled with Kazerad’s original lizard girl design and decided, in order to make it more strange, I’d add bee claws and fuzz.
