days 39-40 of my #100DaysChallenge of drawing animals. I continued working on some watercolors and more intentionally to be finished stuff - with the result that except for the elephants that were actually finished at this point, the rest is still languishing in my room in the same state like, 2 weeks or so later. Gah. I hope I'll have the energy to actually finish them this week!
On day 43 of drawing animals I had the urge to change it up a bit, and thus drew these deep sea creatures on black paper. I started with rough sketches in medium grey colored pencil, then put some white gouache on top, wetting the individual shapes first and then working the gouache into them wet-on-wet. The first drawing got finished with some additional colored pencil in white and some faint colors, the second one is still in the gouache-only WIP state.
