We got a page of Cypress sketches, a Jojo-inspired orca and a lemon shark! ;)

For the Cypress sketches, I was thinking of doing a rough paint over just as a bit of a form study. Would that be something you guys would like to see?

I see you are practicing booty shots. Jokes aside I love the difference type of poses.

Bobby boi

Yeah, that would be interesting

Cole Leo

Ahhhh these are so lovely and I love how you’ve shaded these Cypress sketches 🥺🥺 The rough paintover would be very nice to see, would you mind annotating parts of it so we could better understand how you approach value control??

brave of you to make a return to the terrifying realm of The Knee

I second this. I can attest personally that annotating or commenting on your own work, just the act of putting something down in concrete words, helps you just as much as it helps a viewer. Makes you slow down and figure out WHY you made the choices you did, which often gives you some insight.

I think everyone here would want to see the rough paint. But more importantly... the third drawing. You took a shark. A creature that inspires terror, that haunts our culture with its bloodlust. A creature that was sculpted by the harsh ocean and God Almighty to be the perfect predator; relentless, remorseless, ruthless. And you made him kinda friendly and approachable-looking. How? No, seriously. Every picture of sharks I've seen has them as these beady-eyed monsters, and you managed to give this one a smile. How?

Oh gosh, that booty bull 👀👀

A rough paint over would be cool to see ^,^

Awesome! I'll see what I can do. ;) Is there anything specifically that you want me to make notes on, or should I just try and mark out what I find important?

Knees are my greatest enemy, but even so... I still gotta learn how to draw them properly xD

Haha thanks! Well I think part of it comes from stylization and the other part from comparative anatomy. The thing about the anatomy of different animals is that they often have a lot of similarities with each other. It's essentially the framework that's skewed for the different adaptations, but the similarities are still there. So if I wanted to give a shark a smile, I just need to find those similarities, and used what I know about human expressions (a smile) and aply it to that different frame. The thing is, it's not always a perfect fit, so that's where putting in some stylization and either changing or simplifying things in the animal/creature to make it work with the human expressions comes in to play. Then we've got friendly smiling sharks all around! ;)

Bless you Taran, I really appreciate it! I guess anything that you do that you find helps you out in particular, or stuff like how you decide what value ranges to use for each grouping? Whatever you think will be useful to mention will 110% be soaked up by our minds

I noticed that with some of your other stuff. When you draw dragons, you give them a sorta "angle" to their eye (less, say, how the eye is tilted and more in the eyelid; you see it most with the big cats like lions, where the top eyelid will have a sharp slope downward on the inner/nose side) and I realized after looking that those eye shapes exist because the eye is having to deal with the plane change of a snout (compared to humans or primates, who have forward-facing eyes but no snout (even the folks with the largest noses ever don't have skull structures of snouts), or compared to some creatures whose eyes are on the sides of their heads, who don't have that plane change). It's helped me with some of the fantasy races I'm drawing quite immensely. Thank you!
