I think it's a dik-dik, or some other small antelope-like creature that looks like one.  I had access to a number of old animal mounts from Bass Pro a while back via one of my teachers, they were unlabeled and I didn't take notes so I have no idea on a couple of the more obscure ones I drew. here I was playing with inks and markers.  white inks are hard to come by that aren't horrible.  I had some Speedball white ink a while back that was as opaque as correction fluid, but the container was damaged and it dried up.  Here I think I used Dr. Ph. Martin's.  I never had luck with the Higgins white, but my sample was really old.  but anyways, Higgins Brown in is an absolute blast.  there's a warm and a cool pigment inside and they tend to settle out and/or soak into paper at different rates, and you can achieve different hue and lightness when you manipulate it by pulling some of it up with a paper towel or when you wet it.

so I may be onto something.

I'm here trying to draw and being grumpy that on the computer I'm forever unable to draw a straight line with the Wacom tablet, then I realize that I don't have much traction to negate my twitchy limbs like I do drawing in graphite on paper.  So I tape a sheet of paper over my tablet and then sandpaper the plastic stylus nib.  Lo and behold I have paper traction and an improved line drawing process.

alternately I could splurge on a Wacom Intuos4 that already has the texture built in.  or do they make variant pad inserts for my Intuos3?  eh paper is cheap.

In these woods lie magic and wonders, but pray, soul, remember this, Monsters are what men make.

unfinished 3D project visualization.  I might pick that back up this semester, I'm retaking the early 3D animation classes so I'm not neglecting what skill I have picked up in favor solely of drawn projects, so I'll have this to kick around some more.
