I’ve been drawing and drawing and drawing, animal after animal, some with success, others just not quite right for this company I’m working for, it’s all good experience though. Since I’m not allowed to post the ones that are accepted for print, I decided I should do a post of some of the ones that haven’t worked. I went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to look at sea otters, I’ve drawn 3 so far, each one getting better, still none quite right.
This sea otter illustration was the first attempt, cute-ish, but totally overworked, the feet aren’t right, and I used paint when I’m supposed to be using pencil, oops.
The next sea otter illustration was a mom and baby otter together, almost ok, but again, not quite it, the legs were too dark and the babies face wasn’t fuzzy enough.
And then the next sea otter drawing, was even closer, but still not quite the look, it’s flat on it’s stomach because it would have been illustrated with kelp across it. The arms and face were right on, but the legs were a bit overworked. One of these times, I’ll get it.
