jungle tapirsby ~gescheitert

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

some lowland tapirs in what i probably think a jungle in south america looks like (bamboo?!, trees, grass, vines, mud for tapirs to sleep in). i'm not used to drawing backgrounds, or plants, anyway.
ballpoint and pencil. took 2 lectures to finish.

Where did you get the references for the tapirs? they look really good!
The forest is amazing. We have bamboo here too.. I think bamboo grows anywhere, actually!

i didn't use refs. if you compare it to real tapirs, you'll find errors/stylizations. actually, i rarely use any refs at all (maybe i should).
thanks for your nice words

~anarella Dec 10, 2009

I like that way. Maybe if you start to use refs, your drawings will loose their originality!
I tought that tapirs only existed in south america. Here in Brazil we call them "anta".
They're cute

Baby tapir is adorable.

And "lectures" is officially a new unit of time.

That background is insanely amazing. You draw trees so well and effortlessly! I love the vines and the little bamboo. It's all so fitting (: And the subjects themselves are beautifully drawn, i especially love the bigger one's snout. Veryy beautiful picture

well it was certainly not effortless.. i had some trouble with the big tree :/ still lacks 3d stuff. but thankkkkkkk you for liking it

~komiks Nov 20, 2008

This is great. You use values real well, it emphasizes certain parts of the picture and my attention just goes to them. The background's nice too.
I bet your professor loves your attentiveness.

hey, i draw so i don't fall asleep. it actually helps me focus when i don't have to take notes.
